I'm just an amateur lock-picker, but AFAIK plastics would be completely unsuitable for use as general lock-picking tools. Maybe for circular/tube-type locks -- but I doubt it.

Might be easy to print parts of a tubular lockpick/universial key(ing) tool.

For regular lock picks, metal 3d printers might work -- I'm not sure how brittle thin pieces would be. But those things costs a fortune, so I think making by hand would make much more sense.
