Absolutely. Better yet is using a small CNC machine (3018 style) to make a master template for the pantograph machine. I have used my 3018 to make 1” high detailed logos on aluminum plate that my Hermes Engravograph can scale down to 1/7” height with no loss of detail.
These will be single use templates. I'm engraving a 24" x 1" stainless steel cylinder with a small logo and a variety of very plain Swiss font letters and numbers at one end of the cylinder. I plan to engrave one line at a time and then index the cylinder for the next row. Max 3 lines. Maybe different point sizes.
I have a Deckle Duplicator Pantograph but I don't have any templates for it.

Single use. Then I see no reason not to use PLA with 4 walls.
Now that I know you have one, I need to visit with my own templates and plaque blanks.

You didn't see it when you were here last because it was over in the wood working bay where I keep my backhoe.
It's been a project from hell that has been waiting for some attention.
Templates are only one part of a very long journey still to travel.
