Awesome Brep Reconstruction Awesome

A list on Brep reconstruction, primarily consisting of academic papers, along with some useful open-source projects and dataset.

It should be noted that, in addition to the Complete Implementation of Brep Reconstruction, we also considered related work on CAD Model Segmentation, Surface Fitting, Primitive Recognition and Feature-line Reconstruction, as these are important steps in BRep reconstruction.

😊 I will update this list regularly.
