Spatial reasoning is a fundamental capability for embodied intelligence, especially for fine-grained manipulation tasks such as robotic assembly. Recent methods based on vision-language models (VLMs) largely rely on coarse 2D perception and struggle to perform accurate reasoning over complex 3D geometry. To address this limitation, we propose AssemLM, a spatial multimodal large language model for robotic assembly that integrates assembly manuals, point clouds, and textual instructions to predict task-critical 6D assembly poses with explicit geometric understanding. To bridge raw 3D perception and high-level linguistic reasoning, AssemLM employs a specialized point cloud encoder to extract fine-grained geometric and rotational features for accurate 3D spatial reasoning in assembly tasks. In addition, we introduce AssemBench, a large-scale benchmark for assembly-oriented spatial reasoning with over 900K multimodal samples and precise 6D pose annotations, extending evaluation from 2D grounding to full 3D geometric inference. Extensive experiments and real-robot evaluations demonstrate that AssemLM achieves state-of-the-art 6D pose reasoning performance and effectively supports fine-grained, multi-step assembly tasks in real-world settings. Code, models, and the AssemBench dataset will be made publicly available.
