This is fascinating. It would be great to have a CNC machine to carve that wood, just like guitar factories use. They are so accurate. I wonder if a 3D printer of some sort would also work (of course the blade material would be also something to consider).
Actually these blades were carved with a CNC router. And definitely you could 3d print these although I prefer wood. All that said... very easy to hand carve too. The brain is a pretty good computer and the human body is excellent at controlling tools ;)
