Could you build this?
Partial A 3D viewer in the browser is straightforward with WebGL libraries, but parsing and measuring precise boundary representations (B-Rep) from proprietary CAD formats like SolidWorks, CATIA, and NX requires dedicated geometric kernels.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a Three.js/WebGPU web frontend paired with a containerized backend running Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) or licensed commercial translation SDKs (such as Tech Soft 3D HOOPS Exchange or CAD Exchanger). The hard part is implementing exact mathematical computation of volume, surface area, and snapping tolerances directly on parametric B-Rep surfaces rather than lossy tessellated meshes. It requires deep expertise in computational geometry and CAD file specification internals.
