There were many points in the article why 3D printing makes the old technique more easily accessible.
For example:
> In this video, Holler demonstrates a 3D-printed and filed bump key for an Ikon SK6, a key that uses restricted, carefully contorted blanks that can’t even be created by many key-milling machines.
- Gracana 12y agoMaybe the average key milling machine can't do it, but a general-purpose mill could. And for less than the cost of a 3D printer that can make strong finely detailed parts, you could buy a decent sized CNC machining center that could make keys (or anything else) out of real actual metal. For a tenth of the cost (or about the cost of a hobby printer), you can get a manual machine and do it by hand.
