Could you build this?

Partial Wrapping existing CAD libraries via Elixir bindings and calling LLMs for text-to-CAD is straightforward, but robust programmatic CAD kernel compilation requires intricate geometry pipeline tuning.

What it would actually take: The stack involves an Elixir/Phoenix backend communicating with Python subprocesses or C/C++ CAD kernels (build123d, OpenSCAD, OpenCASCADE wrappers like smlibpy). The challenge is managing CAD kernel memory, validating generated geometries for manifold/watertight integrity, and handling frequent compilation timeouts or invalid CSG boolean operations from raw LLM-generated code.
