Ries,
Do you have anycode for the CAM work that you have done?
I am currently looking at how to impliment such a plugin and i would like to see / use anything you have so far.
I have done zero work on the plugin coding/API of LibreCAD, but if you were asking about the CAM algorithms for 2D or 2.5D toolpaths then I have been working on a library called openvoronoi. Take a look at the gallery: https://picasaweb.google.com/106188605401091280402/OpenVoronoiExamples
There's been some interest in using openvoronoi from dxf2gcode ( a simple 2D/2.5D g-code generator), freecad (a 3D parametric CAD modeler), slic3r (a 3d-printer g-code generator), pycam, and so on. I hope to improve openvoronoi (there are corner-cases that cause crashes), and support some of these GUIs/Applications eventually.
If there's someone who is familiar with the LibreCAD geometry data representation and with the cam-plugin and GUI APIs then I can help with the openvoronoi integration. Note that openvoronoi requires an input format similar to PSLG described here: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.defs.html
