Right, now I see. Def 2D for the slots and flats and roughing out the curves, then 3D for the rest, any other approach is crazy IMHO.

Only other comments I'd add is the need for a jig to allow part to be flipped accurately and, depending on the size, consider whether several parts can be machined as one then separated in one final pass, which would decrease overall manufacturing time.
