Yes, I have a homemade CNC router. That was part of the thought behind this especially the text.

A lot of the pattern could be made as sections and glued together. Even Styrofoam could be used either as the pattern for sand molding or as a one time use lost foam pattern.

My main thought was that the cover wouldn’t need any welding and could likely have a pocket or groove cast in to put the gasket.
