That would actually be slower and probably more expensive than just cutting it from brass. An app that can generate a bumpkey is not compelling work. OpenCV and a library of key profiles is not impressive. To top it all off the claim that these can be used for high-security locks is laughable. Sure, anything at home depot that says high-security on the packaging, but I would like to think everyone here knows how useless bumping is beyond that caliber.
It is just sensationalist journalism. As a general rule, if a writer can't be bothered to put in at least 1000 words on a subject, it is not worth reading.
