Could you build this?

Partial A basic STL and OBJ viewer with orbit controls and measurement is vibe-codeable on Android. Reliable STEP and IGES parsing plus accurate wall thickness and mass estimates are harder, requiring CAD kernel and geometry expertise.

What it would actually take: Build the Android app in Kotlin with an OpenGL or Vulkan renderer for mesh display, section cuts, and measurement tools. The hard parts are STEP and IGES import, which typically means integrating OpenCascade (a C++ CAD kernel) through JNI, and robust wall-thickness analysis via ray casting or distance fields. Weight estimates also depend on material density and accurate volume computation on possibly non-watertight meshes.
