Could you build this?
No Developing a 2.5D parametric geometric constraint solver, toolpath generation algorithms, and reliable G-code post-processors running in the browser requires deep mechanical engineering and computational geometry expertise.
What it would actually take: The core requires a robust 2D/3D geometric constraint solver (often C++ compiled to WebAssembly) combined with toolpath calculation libraries (like OpenCAMLib or custom offset/pocketing algorithms). The hard part is handling degenerate edge cases, cutter compensation, and deterministic G-code generation without causing physical machine crashes, requiring specialized CAD/CAM software engineers.
