These are not small pieces of code by any means :) Professional kernels used by the likes of Autocad and Siemens have fourth to fifty years of development and hundreds of thousands of engineering hours.
It’s not as simple as taking a mesh of 3D points and calling it a day. Typical kernels can add chamfers, fillets, spins, and constraints to all kinds of form representations based on mathematical descriptions of the target shapes. Getting that working reliably is super difficult!

Here's a bit on Manifold: https://github.com/elalish/manifold/wiki/Manifold-Library https://github.com/elalish/manifold/wiki/Manifold-Library and the author's blog is interesting: https://elalish.blogspot.com/search/label/Manifold https://elalish.blogspot.com/search/label/Manifold
