Given a 3D solid model, it would also be nice to have a function for automatic creation of a set of moulds and cores for casting, with gates etc.

This function should automatically work out the cores required, gates required, take into consideration of shrinkage ratio supplied by the user.

While things like that seems great, the amount of work required to do so would fit its own project. I'm not sure build123d can handle that. It's mainly a modelling lib, not a full blown CAD app.

This seems like a very ambitious project but I'll leave it here as someone might be able to take it on in the future.
