Machine learning-based part determinations for computer-aided design (cad) assemblies

A system comprising:

• an assembly access engine configured to access a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly that digitally represents a product component that includes multiple parts;
• and
• a part determination engine configured to:
• determine a recommended part for the CAD assembly, including by:
• providing the CAD assembly as an input to a machine-learning (ML) model trained with assembly structure data of CAD assemblies of a common product type as the CAD assembly;
• generating a candidate part set through the ML model, the candidate part set comprising different candidate parts to include in the CAD assembly as the recommended part;
• filtering the candidate part set based on physical and cost characteristics of the different candidate parts of the candidate part set;
• and
• identifying the recommended part from the filtered candidate part set;
• and
• insert the recommended part into the CAD assembly;
• and
• provide the CAD assembly in support of physical manufacture of the product component represented by the CAD assembly.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing system to:

• access a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly that digitally represents a product component that includes multiple parts;
• determine a recommended part for the CAD assembly, including by:
• providing the CAD assembly as an input to a machine-learning (ML) model trained with assembly structure data of CAD assemblies of a common product type as the CAD assembly;
• generating a candidate part set through the ML model, the candidate part set comprising different candidate parts to include in the CAD assembly as the recommended part;
• filtering the candidate part set based on physical and cost characteristics of the different candidate parts of the candidate part set;
• and
• identifying the recommended part from the filtered candidate part set;
• and
• insert the recommended part into the CAD assembly;
• and
• provide the CAD assembly in support of physical manufacture of the product component represented by the CAD assembly.
