“In 2009, a German hacker going by the name Ray used a 3-D printer to fabricate a plastic key to the handcuffs used by Dutch police. He created the copy using only a photograph of an actual key. Last year, Ray demonstrated how to open even high-security handcuffs. The ability to copy keys isn’t new but, as with many of these dangers, 3-D printing will make it a lot easier. Just think of all the things — houses, cars, offices — we still use keys to open. Professor Lee Cronin, at the University of Glasgow, has been experimenting with something he calls ‘reactionware,’ which he hopes will allow people to print their own medication at home.”
