I was browsing the internet looking at key machine videos when I ran into the Futura Key Machine made by Silca. I don't know much about key machines but this one seems bad ass. One automatic machine that does flat keys, dimple keys, and laser keys all controlled by a tablet . It looks super sleek and clean too. Of all the key machine videos this one looked the sweetest by far. Couldn't help but wonder if anyone uses one of these at work.

Does it perform as well as is shown in the video or am I just memorized by the fancy electronic music?
Anyone know how much they cost? Not that I'm looking to buy one. I noticed on their website the price is not listed which usually means its a fortune.

I believe these machines are over US$10K. For example, here are some UK locksmiths discussing the price:

Does anyone have this machine?

We have it in class and it is a fun machine to use. If you have only one machine to own, at the moment i guess it should be the futura. Sidewinder key cut by code flawlessly. The data base is huge and you can retreive the possible codes with a partial bitting search. The tablet interface is a bit slow but i guess it's more about the tablet than the app. The machine is automaticly calibrating itself so you don't have to mind about it. Edge cut key are decoded by a laser reader, and sidewinders are decoded with an automatic mobile tracer point... lots a technolgy in this machine, We all hope it will proove to be durable over time.

Does it use Silca key programs? http://www.silca.biz/en/products/534666/silca-key-programs.html
Updates are pretty expencive here in Finland. Like 2-300 euros per machine per year (got Triax e-code & Unocode).
Does Instacode support this? There are cheaper deals for Instacode than Silca Key Programs.

Are futura and 3dpro xtreme alike? I'm juggling between these two.

Futura is using its own Silca futura app that is to be installed on the android tablet. Don't know much about it but i know that instacode and kreate a key can talk with the futura to add jobs in it's queued jobs list.

I have had mine for around 6 months I don't like the tablet. I use my windows based laptop. the cutter send out a wifi signal and the password is the serial number of machine then google chrome in the search bar I used 192.168.0.1 I and works just fine if not better .
