A new benchmark, CADBench, has been developed to evaluate the capabilities of AI CAD agents, revealing that current tools struggle with basic mechanical part design. Testing ten AI agents across 28 tasks showed that all failed to reach human-level performance, particularly in manufacturing and cognitive abilities. The benchmark includes major AI CAD tools like GPT-5 and Claude Opus, highlighting their limitations and suggesting areas for improvement in AI-assisted design. AI
