Today a made a 3D printed key for my Mini just to prove it could be done. I was talking with a locksmith that was at my work today and was talking with him about how 3D printing technology would change his profession. I told him I could take a photo of a key and print a replacement using the photo as reference. He said it was impossible. Sounds like a challenge to me. Thirty two minutes later.

Yup. The days of “uncopiable” keys are drawing to a close. I’d say bring on the retinal scanners, but then reconsider when I think about a certain scene in The Avengers…
