I understand Laser/CNC are the options being discussed but I can add a little to water cutting problems

Watercutting CF will work BUT and it's a big but...delamination will occur at the point of entry (first cut) & can be up to a diameter of 20-30mm - no good for holes! and the operator should have a map & enough material to cut into the final shape from 30mm plus of the final cut

Watercutting CF can be improved by sandwiching the CF between alloy plate, this may be advantageous if you want alloy bits the same?? adds some cost though

CNC is best but destroys most tools & again the operator needs a good understanding of CF to get the best outcome
