You'd get the same result in the same or less time if you simply took a hi res pic with scale bars and brought into a vector based editor like Illustrator to generate the file to feed to the CNC.

If it's a one off part it would be quicker to print it out on paper and spray mount that to the gasket material and cut by hand.

If it's a repeatable part where you need hundreds you make a die and stamp it out like a cookie cutter.
