Could you build this?

No Building a custom parametric 3D CAD engine in pure Rust with geometric constraint solvers, B-rep solid kernel topology, timeline recalculations, and WGPU rendering requires deep computational geometry and systems engineering.

What it would actually take: Requires implementing an exact B-rep geometry kernel (similar to OpenCASCADE or Parasolid) and a 2D/3D geometric constraint solver (e.g., using Levenberg-Marquardt or graph-reduction algorithms) in Rust. The architecture involves an event-sourced command pipeline updating an acyclic dependency graph for the feature tree, paired with wgpu/WebGL for real-time mesh tessellation and rendering. This demands advanced mathematical expertise in NURBS, topology data structures (Half-Edge / Radial Edge), and numerical optimization.
