A showcase of what CADAM builds from a single plain-language description — from full multi-part machines down to clean parametric parts. Each model below started from the prompt shown and came out as fully parametric OpenSCAD, ready to export as .STL, .SCAD, or .DXF. The source and a short write-up for each live in benchmarks/; the orbiting previews are rendered with benchmarks/render.sh.
