Could you build this?
Partial Creating the basic UI and downloading simple Mapbox vector tiles is doable, but generating precision layered vector SVGs and watertight 3D heightmaps suitable for laser cutting and 3D printing requires custom geospatial geometry processing.
What it would actually take: The stack would integrate Mapbox or OpenStreetMap vector data and NASA/SRTM/Copernicus digital elevation models (DEM). The hard part is the backend geometry processing pipeline (using GDAL, Shapely, or custom C++/Rust computational geometry engines) to reliably perform polygon contouring, unioning, nesting, and kerf/clearance offsets into clean, non-intersecting layered SVGs and manifold 3D mesh files (.STL/OBJ). This requires specialized GIS and computational geometry expertise.
