Could you build this?
No Autonomous mechanical manufacturing requires automated CAD parsing, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) toolpath generation, and physical CNC machine shop supply chains.
What it would actually take: A working system requires a computational geometry kernel (e.g., Open CASCADE) to parse STEP/IGES CAD models, feature recognition algorithms to identify machinable pockets and tolerances, automated 3-to-5 axis CAM toolpath generation, and automated DFM (Design for Manufacturability) rule engines. It also demands direct integration with physical CNC milling machinery, material supply chains, and automated CMM inspection hardware.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
