Can this be done in AutoCAD?

We want to have our logo waterjet cut out of Al to make in store display signs. Problem is it's an Illustrator vector with line thickness of at least 2mm but the cutting stream is 30 thousandths.

is there an AutoCAD add-on that will trace both sides of these lines? Where it is blue will be cut through. We'll add in "bridges" so the white parts (the Al) don't drop out. Finished product will have a blue sheet behind it and back-lighting for those stores that can.

Any other ways to do this? Only need a few hundred made, would like to keep it local.
