I am not sure. It would take one hell of a laser to cut into copper. Our $50,000 laser at work can't even make a mark in any type of metal and is only good to 3/8" acrylic. I know there are lasers that can cut metal as
www.designcomp.com claims to use one to cut the aluminum cases and fan grills with. But Copper is very dense and would be (I think) much much harder to laser than aluminum. But yes if there is a laser capable of this it would be a way to go and may not be much more expensive than milling.
I am not to familiar with how wire EDM works but that would probably be a better solution if it is capable of something like this. But still that is very expensive.
