Question About Runtime Mesh Editing
You can find a few algorithms online (such as csg.js and libfive), but most of them are either not robust or fast enough for real-time graphics.

Show HN: Make 3D art in your browser using Lisp and math
No; Bauble doesn't know how to "rasterize" SDFs into meshes; it only knows how to raymarch them. It's theoretically possible, but it's a pretty complex problem that would take me much too long to figure out and implement. So Bauble is relegated to just making pretty pictures for now. If you want to produce meshes using SDFs, check out https://libfive.com/

Antimony – computer-aided design tool from the Lisp machine parallel universe
This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.
Start at:
http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf
then see:
http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/
then Antimony (see the article at: http://hackaday.com/2015/05/29/otherworldy-cad-software-hail... ), then the current effort:
https://github.com/libfive/libfive
(and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive
Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).
Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:
- a node or block editor
- Learning CAD on Linux
- OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
