Ah, when it comes down to CNC we do some odd things.
One reason why not many company offer CNC seals is because it is a VERY specialist field.
When a piece of polyurethane is in your hand, it is a solid.
However, when it is being spun in the CNC, it is expand because it isn't really solid.
So unless one know how to calculate the expansion rate for the specific seal you are making, you end result is all going to be wrong even if the program you put into CNC was correct.
We might not build Swiss watch, but I doubt any of those craftsman will have to calculate expansion rate like we can and have to.
