OpenSCAD is really two things: - a very clean and rather complete re-implementation of the linuxcnc rs274ngc gcode language - the cut path preview IMO it would be an interesting candidate code base as an alternative to the current interpreter, as well as for 'preview/progress display on steroids'. The author had it originally licensed as Gplv3, but relicensed it for Linuxcnc purposes in a compatible way as I asked him to. - Michael > I've used FreeCAD to make drawings for machining before.
