Abstract
Design for Manufacturing (DfM) systems aim to provide feedback on manufacturability to avoid costly redesigns. Existing studies use deep learning models to classify whether a design is manufacturable, and apply post-hoc XAI techniques to localize issues. We propose a graph neural network that directly segments unmanufacturable regions, trained on synthetic data. To ensure effective domain adaptation to real-world designs, we employ a contrastive learning framework that maps synthetic and limited real examples in a shared latent space. By training only on synthetic samples closest to real-world counterparts, this novel method bridges the gap between synthetic data and real-world applicability.
