Could you build this?

Partial The vector editor, cut/draw assignment, and toolpath preview are codeable, but driving real cutter and plotter hardware over USB, serial, and Wi-Fi requires device-specific protocol work and physical testing.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a vector engine with path ordering and offsetting, plus output drivers for HPGL and each cutter's command set over USB serial and networking. Supporting many devices means reading or reverse-engineering their protocols and testing on real hardware to avoid bad cuts. The hard part is reliable hardware communication and cut-accurate toolpaths, which needs embedded and CNC-style domain knowledge.
