Could you build this?

Partial The browser UI for cabinet and millwork design is buildable with AI help, but a credible parametric CAD kernel and manufacturing-ready CNC/CAM output require geometry and machining expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version would wrap or build on a geometry kernel such as OpenCascade compiled to WebAssembly, add parametric constraints and joinery logic, and generate validated toolpaths (G-code) for CNC routers with correct tooling and post-processors. It needs CAD/CAM engineers and woodworking domain experts to verify that outputs are actually machinable and safe.
