I wish that were the case, but there's not much that can be automated with a CNC in the production of these board patterns (I've tried, a lot). The parts that can be aren't related to actually making the pattern itself: flattening, handhold routing, and the juice groove.

There are some generic-ish jigs that a CNC and 3D printer help with, but those don't tend to change with board pattern.

Economies of scale would be realized by making lots of the same board, but then you're not doing custom one-offs.
