Unfortunately, this approach doesn't work well for things like plastic extrusion where it can be difficult to control the extrusion rate precisely. Repraps, etc are able to succeed in part because they take a very naive approach to trajectory planning and can get away with it because of the low moving mass. They basically try to fly around at a consistent speed regardless, and extrude at a constant rate.
The output of the skeinforge tool chain is also totally line segments. As far as I understand it, this makes LinuxCNC somewhat unsuitable for this very fast-growing and cool DIY CNC market segment.
