Default CNC milling machine at my disposal

Hey guys, i'm a new member, just joined today. The thing is i've been planning to create my own waterblock for awhile now. It's for a future system, out in nov. Anyways, i've seen how you guys are amazing with autoCAD and whatnot, but are still using manual milling machines. My dad is a high school teacher, and has 4 CNC milling machines that can machine on 4 axis at his disposal. I'm open to suggestions about it. The machines at 1/38th a millimeter precision, so you guys can try out designs. I'd be willing to machine a few cooling blocks. Unfortunately, i have no resevoir or water cooling setup. I'll try to find something to test them on. Maybe just waterflow alone. Also material i machine with will PROBABLY be steel. Copper is pretty expensive for so many water blocks just to experiment with 0.o Anyways, if you can design it, i can probably make it. Please keep in mind its a CNC, so i need a format compatible with quickCAM. I don't seem keen on redrawing all those designs =p Also i don't think i can ship them out to you guys. Its a school CNC machine, profit or anything would probably get someone arrested
