Could you build this?

Partial A browser-based, print-focused 3D designer with fit tolerances, a parts library, and 3MF export is largely UI work. The overhang check is simple mesh-normal analysis, but reliable boolean geometry and robust printable-mesh output are hard to get right.

What it would actually take: Use three.js for the viewport and a WASM mesh kernel such as manifold-3d for booleans, then export color 3MF with a mesh-writing library. The overhang analysis is normal-vs-build-direction math, but making CSG robust and matching slicer expectations takes geometry-kernel experience and extensive testing.
