That is a common method. It would typically use a silicon stencil mat and a very tiny micro blast "gun" on a small blast system. Some will use an actual cabinet and some will use it in open air and not recycle any of the grit.
A carbide material would work best for your grit. Aluminum oxide (white) would also work well. I would not use sand.
