German term or phrase: Ausfräsung
> Schrank-Systeme gibt es jetzt auch mit hochwertigen,
pflegeleichten Dekor-
Oberflächen! Das ist nicht nur preiswerter, sondern eröffnet auch zusätzliche kreative Möglichkeiten. Unsere neuen Front-Ausführungen mit weichen Rundungen oder ***Ausfräsungen*** sind damit realisierbar.

Would it be correct to call these 'milled slots' or 'milled edges' or 'milled out portions' or maybe something else.

TIA

I suppose it\'s also possible that these are carvings created by a router.

cut-out designs


Explanation:
This seems to be a sales bropchure, and I am afraid that few customers will understand "milling" or "milled-out".

"cut-out designs" (a workaround to milling) would make better sense in this context.

this sounds as if it is more of a carved trim, but they are sometimes mouldings
