I got something in the works very similar to this. Exept where you have the channels in the middle slug in a swirl effect I have strait left to right micro channels like Cathars block. I honestly do not think the swirl channels will work well but I am no pro at fluid dynamics.

CNC mills can use a DXF if it has software to transfer it into GNC code. My mill does and I think most do. Just make sure you save the ACAD drawing as a DXF and not a standard acad drawing. Then in the CNC software there should be an import DXF command. Or you may need another set of software to convert it to GNC. My mill has it all in one but most mills vary.

That block you have there would be a fun project even if it didn't work well!
