Have a look at GCAM - GNU Computer Aided Manufacturing at http://gcam.js.cx
Although it currently doesn't support the import of CAD data (it's more a WOP, a 'Workshop Oriented Programing' system) it looks very promising.

Another 'free to use' Linux program, full 3D support, but not under the GPL: gCAD3D (http://www.cadcam.co.at/freiter/gCAD3D_en.htm) Thomas Am Freitag, 23.
