Could you build this?

Partial The PLM workflows, revision tracking, BOM management, and approval flows are CRUD-like and vibe-codeable, but a credible version needs real CAD file handling and manufacturing domain logic.

What it would actually take: Use a web stack such as Postgres with a Node or Python backend, object storage for files, and a workflow engine for approvals. The hard parts are parsing and previewing CAD formats like STEP, DWG, and IGES, which usually means integrating open-source CAD kernels or viewers such as OpenCascade, plus modeling nested BOM and revision semantics correctly. Manufacturing PLM domain expertise is needed to get the release-control rules right.
