The manufacturing process would eliminate the requirement for shaping metal components.
Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing sources with knowledge of the situation, that Apple is testing 3D printers to produce the steel frames of some of its future smartwatches.
According to the study, the manufacturing process would make cutting metal components into the desired product shape unnecessary, speeding up the creation of the devices while also being more environmentally friendly.
According to the article, the strategy has the potential to simplify Apple’s supply chain, and the company plans to utilize the technology on more goods over the following several years if tests with the Apple watches are booming.
According to the report, the titanium Ultra watch will also be subject to the process, although the shift won’t occur until 2024.
On Sept. 12, Apple is scheduled to have its fall event, during which analysts predict the most valuable corporation in the world will introduce a new range of iPhones and smartwatches.
