the gcode export from pcb would be interesting for a first rush
engraving, but at least in pcb-rnd it is deemed experimental and close
to deprecation without a maintainer or users.

If you can get aligned layers exported from pcb in a suitable format,
then you can use a real cam nc processor like rhinocam, vcarvepro,
pycam, ez-cam, fusion360.
