I think there could be a market for a packaged deal from companies that currently just do laser cutting. Make it more like a kit. A kit of laser cut parts that come with plans and fiberglass parts. Most laser cutters offers hundreds of airplanes but you have to go buy your plans somewhere else and then get your cowl, wheel pants, etc. somewhere else too. They could even be short kits, but still have the plans and glass parts.

I wonder about the plans issue here. Maybe there is often a copyright issue or something. They obviously studied the plans to program the laser to cut out all of those parts. So at least 1 set of plans existed by the kit cutter. Plans are not getting cheap either. It seems printing costs are going way up.
It depends on where you get your kit cut, but many do have cowls and other parts available. Just not all.
