Hi Florian, The two starting places I'm aware of, in case you end up writing your own, are OpenSCAM (currently 3D only, but the author seems to think 5D, and lathes are possible) and Anders Wallin's cutsim (library w/no app, 5D capabilities unknown). Let me know if you take this route and get serious about it; I might like to lend a hand.
