This study underscores the pivotal role of AIx in dictating the future trajectory of a large model industry by emphasizing the importance of its adoption and necessity from a user-centric perspective. The fundamental drivers of AIx include the introduction of novel capabilities, replication of capabilities (both anthropomorphic and superhuman), migration of capabilities, aggregation of intelligence, and multiplication of capabilities.

Hence, we propose an integration approach that combines the geometric accuracy of CAD data with the flexibility of mesh representations, as well as introduce a unique hybrid representation that combines CAD and mesh models to enhance segmentation accuracy. To combine these two model types, our hybrid system utilizes advanced-neural-network techniques to convert CAD models into mesh models. For complex CAD models, model segmentation is crucial for model retrieval and reuse. In partial retrieval, it aims to segment a complex CAD model into several simple components. The first component of our hybrid system involves advanced mesh-labeling algorithms that harness the digitization of CAD properties to mesh models. The second component integrates labelled face features for CAD segmentation by leveraging the abundant multisemantic information embedded in CAD models. This combination of mesh and CAD not only refines the accuracy of boundary delineation but also provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying object semantics.
