    My experience has been that engraving text in the metal comes out
    much cleaner than engraving in the wax. Although I have had some
    cad/cam models made that came out nice.  Also there is a local
    company that makes photo engraved plates that molds can be made from
    that produces very nice flat pieces.  Some wax model companies also
    offer 3mm wax letters that can be attached to your wax.  Last
    resort, Stuller and other suppliers offer 3mm gold block letters
    that can be soldered on or if you are making a silastic mold, glue
    the gold letters to the wax and make a mold (won't work with
    vulcanized molds).
