Metal Business card engraving

Hey, I know this is waaaaay last minute, but could anyone help me engrave a business card before this Thursday? The material is . 48mm aluminum and I was hoping a CNC milling machine would do the trick. I have no idea how to operate that kind of machine though but I have made a .stl.

I appreciate any help I can get,

Samuel

I’ll put my bid in at 10,000 dollarydoos.

Yes it’s high but I have to actively bribe my machinist to do this and he only takes bribes in authentic Canadian maple syrup and poutine

Is the ‘blank’ already sized? Typical biz card is 2x3"
Is the card cut in intaglio (into the material) or a bas relief (raised letters and figures). The former is the easiest and can likely be V-carved on several of our machines. Or perhaps the entire front can be marked on the laser. A bas relief is basically a 3d carving and will be much slower. I’m PMing my email. Let me see the STL and I can tell you a bit more.
