Dear Anders,
thanks for explanations.

 > (a) interpreter ...

In my special case this is not a problem. I'm working on a tool path 
generation algorithm, the output will be a dense list of tool positions 
that I could directly use for the simulation. So I don't need g-code 
interpretation, actually I need the other way round.

Using octree representation of a distance field seams to be a 
straightforward approach. Storing the actual intersection data sounds 
like a idea cool, though, but to complex for me.

Phu... I guess I have to learn some OpenGL. And I wanted to look at 
OpenCL for tool path generation, single precision floating points would 
will most probably be sufficient for tool path generation, I guess.

Did you think about using the GPU to do the calculations for the simulation?

I do. :-) Thanks a lot.

I'm working on a PhD related to tool path generation. So maybe some of 
this work might also be of interest to the emc2 community.

For now I'll try to set up a build environment for your libraries. I'm 
on Windows 7 (64 bit) most of the time. Would you suggest to switch to 
Ubuntu? I would probably be easier to set-up reverting to compile your 
libraries, right?

See you
