Hi Ennio,
Glad you see potential in Kexi. Feel free to visit
https://forum.kde.org/kexi for comments, requests, etc.
There are Filemaker (ex-)users united already :)
Maybe Kexi can gain some features helping with CNC or inventory? Who knows.

PS: Have you tried QCad for CNC paths?

I've been contributing to it :) It's not totally free but for business
it's not an issue. It's Qt based from the day #1. I have not tried it
with CNC as a user though.
