Could you build this?
Partial Parsing and rendering complex 3D CAD formats like STEP/STP on mobile devices requires robust B-rep kernel parsing and meshing, which cannot be reliably vibe-coded from scratch.
What it would actually take: The mobile app requires compiling Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) to WebAssembly or native C++/Swift via CMake to parse boundary representation (B-Rep) STEP files into renderable 3D meshes. Rendering is handled via Metal or SceneKit/Three.js, accompanied by custom dimensioning and projection shaders. Building this requires specialized computer graphics engineering and native C++ cross-compilation expertise.
