By open source do you mean user configurable or just free s/w?

Does anyone know of any open source lathe simulation software?

By open source I mean software that distributes the source code.
Not sure if it would satisfy what you need but they do have a link for 'Plug-in interface for developers' using C++.

this interesting.. i think i'll stay around
I've been thinking about coding a cutting simulation which could work for both mills and lathes. It would be based on an octree data structure to model the stock. I've played around a bit with visualizing things in 3D using VTK.
If anyone has code or info on how to draw octrees in VTK I would be interested.
