    By open source do you mean user configurable or just free s/w?
    If the latter, then there is http://www.cncsimulator.com/

    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++.

    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.
