The voxel approach is a valid one. You can reduce the data-set size by
merging voxels in a plane and volume. There are tree-algorithms to
handle such cases and there is an advantage that you only need to split,
never merge. However, using trees
BTW, the splitting is usually done with the octtree approach (which was
mentioned before).
It can still generate a huge amount of data. If you want a block of 10
split down to 1mil (0.001), or 4 orders of magnitude, then you need a
tree-depth of 14. That would be worst case 10^12 leaf nodes,

Hi all,
I have a feeling many of these CAD/CAM things require more knowledge than
fits in the average open-source developers brain.

I would not quite put it like that. There are some brilliant people out
there. Not all will perform equally on all subjects.

I like the idea of a 3D simulation of a CNC machine to verify there
won't be any surprises when it comes to real milling.
Vericut looks good, but I bet the price is also of matching quality.

I've never found that a simulation program runs better than the
