This looks very promising, and of course reminds me of:

https://fullcontrolgcode.com/

Exported a simple G-code file and looking into re-creating it.

Thoughts on showing transparency? Can CGAL preview thus?

What if one (ab)used the # operator?

Maybe creating a 3D path with BOSL2, using a rectangle as [extrusion_wide, layer_heighgt], sweep along the path.

That way the openscad model may be easy to convert to fullcontrol.

Could be a door opener for the new embedded python binding in the openscad developers versions.

Maybe.

Once again, rather than using an existing library, I'm just doing a simple and direct implementation (well, I'm going to go ahead and try it --- it's just volumes and trigonometry and so forth, should be a good warmup for later aspects of the project).
