'cnc machined' doesnt have to be milled (end milled, at least). CNC is computer numeric control, a laser is a CNC device...

It would be extremely foolhardy to injection mould a top, and then use standard mill bits to make the bottom - removes any savings in the top, by adding more machining time to the bottom (and greater replacement of bits, more chance of breakage and machine down time...)
