I dont see much demand for cameos.
There is an automatic ultrasonic stone carver that can copy things. It may even
be able to work from CAD files but I have only seen it where it copies like a
key cutter.
The cutting mechanism are fine granules of cutting media ultrasonically forced
against the stone material. I know they are mass producing cameos this way.
