Arthur,
This isn't my field, but I thought I'd seen something that at least fills
part of this chain. The OpenBuilds-CAM and OpenBuilds-CONTROL software are
AGPL
https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CAM
https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL
Are these not part of the toolchain you're talking about here? The CAM
software description says it takes SVG, DXF or Bitmap and produces GCODE for
sending to CONTROL, which controls some machines.
This does not seem to meet all of the toolchain you need, but it seems to
fill at least part of it.
