Controlling subtractive CNC from Cura, at all possible?

Provided the meat is very tender, you can use a spoon to divide a steak into bite-size chunks. But a knife will always work better.
You could write all kinds of hacks to get Cura to make toolpaths for subtractive CNC. But Cura is really made for 3d printing (and actually specifically for FDM 3d printing). There are other tool far more suitable for subtractive CNC.

Yeah, I really wouldn't use Cura for this. You would spent more time fighting it than anything else. Any subtractive C&C tool will likely be a much better option.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
