I came across an installation using this brushed or grained look aluminum. I'm assuming it's a thin sheet of aluminum layed over a plywood frame but I can't seem to find this material or what it would be called. I'm guessing aluminum based on how the corner is finished. Any help is appreciated.

I was provided with a plaque board to copy on the CNC. The shape of the thing is curved and angled. What's your method for copying physical object to digital to turn into a vector/DXF? My first thought was to take a picture, bring it into fusion and trace it. But what if I'm not dead straight..etc. Any ideas would be helpful!
