Don't see why not. No reason any Cnc even low end couldn't handle 1/8" polycarbonate. Double sided foam tape will become your best friend too.

I don't see how even a cheap Cnc isn't accurate enough to cut playfield plastics. With right rpm's and a good bit it will leave a perfect edge.
That being said I'm all for new and cooler tech so if you have access to a laser Cnc then sweet! I would say if you are buying something, a regular router Cnc will be more versatile than a laser Cnc.
