For 3D objects you are pretty much on your own. CGAL offers 2D classes
for working with QGraphicsView described here:
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/GraphicsView/Chapter_main.html.
 

Have a look at the Mesh_3 and Polyhedron demo. They show examples of how
to render some CGAL objects. Otherwise Qt and CGAL are quite independent
of each other and integration is (intentionally) up to the user (that
would be you).

I don't think there is anything in CGAL to help you directly with your
problem. But there are quite a lot of papers that should help you in
building a solution.
