Could you build this?
Partial Interactive 3D viewing, exploding, cutting, and tap-to-explain can be built with Three.js or similar. The hard part is obtaining accurate, licensed CAD models and engineering-correct part descriptions for real machines.
What it would actually take: The stack is a WebGL or Three.js front end with glTF models, animation controls, and a part-info data layer. The real difficulty is acquiring or creating accurate CAD geometry for marine diesel engines, turbochargers, and gearboxes. Mechanical engineering knowledge is needed to verify the models and write correct explanations.
