Is metal engrave/crafting worth investing in?

Visit my old account geckoguy123456789 to view all my pre 2017 art!
So my work in undergoing some growth and we recently got 2 new Hass mills. We're allowed to do after hours projects granted we pay for the materials involved. I do have access to programs such as solidworks and mastercam, though I'm only mildly familiar with the latter at the moment.
This gives me the opportunity to create some interesting crafts such as...
Cutouts:

And (if I learn the proper program) complex engraving:

Is this a artcraft that's in demand? Now ofc you can say "Hey dummy, this has real world application you should learn it as your main job!". This isn't quite the field I want to go into, but if there's enough a demand to make it a secondary income I'd definitely put in the time to make it happen. After all my boss won't complain if I'm more shop savvy plus I get to use these thousand dollar machines for free.
I'm not terribly familiar with the crafting side of the fandom, would a service like this be in demand?
Crafts such as metal badges, business cards, wall hangings, jewelry, etc

If you can make a pregfur craft, I would consider buying it!

OP
hehehe, I'd definitely have to do that WAAAAAY after hours or come up with an elaborate story about how "they buy some weird sh*t but pay big bucks for it so I won't judge and totally am not into it"

I’ve done some cutout for things, I mostly ended up cutting stuff out as a supplier to vendors more then supplying a product to customers. Depends on the demand by people to cut outs and materials. Though there’s been no fixed working time depending on demand also and what people are looking to get.
