Hi Michael, Thank for the hints. I will soon try it out and report about the success.
I'm using a program called "ProfiliPro" from Stafano Duranti (http://www.profili2.com/eng/), which produces quite accurate g-code and is easy to handle. Unfortunatly it's not free, but the 60€ are worth for it. Of course it would be fine if a similiar program under a GNU or what ever free licence would come out. If you are interested in the configuration files, please let me know. It would be a pleasure for me to give them to you. I would also help with testing the outcome of your g-code on my foam cutter.

The patch seems to be based on a snapshot of the master branch somewhere at the end of January. On my machine I can reproduce the (very nice) results with these commands: git checkout dcbaa105aaa5494ba5eea296ca66df893bd5c9b6 -b xyuv-sammel-28012012 git apply --verbose ../0010-foam-xyuv-Modification-2.6-pre.patch cd src ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-simulator make -j 2 . ../scripts/rip-environment linuxcnc (then load the foam-xyuv.ngc) By the way, I'm also toying around with with model air planes. I have a small project at gitorious which can be used as CAM generator. https://www.gitorious.org/foambladesuite It can currently read a special kind of DXF files and export them to nc-code. LinuxCNC integration is still very beta, but we are going to improve soon. I'm going to do an extra announcement when I've tested it on a foam cutter...
