Re your question, OpenSCAD does not deal with G-code, that is the job of CAM software <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing> , for 3D printers, that is a Slicer <https://all3dp.com/1/best-3d-slicer-software-3d-printer/> , for Laser cutting it is usually software shipped with the device, for CNC probably likewise. So you'll need to get advice from whomever sells/operates the CNC device you will be controlling. That piece of software is where you get to look at the G-code. ----- Admin - PM me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid...

For those who want G-code w/in OpenSCAD, be sure to look up ImplicitCAD: http://www.implicitcad.org/ ISTR some other similar tools, maybe listed at: https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Programmatic_G-Code_Generators and if not there, check the CAD and CAM pages.
