Apple has carried out 3D printing trials for some of its future watch manufacturing, according to Bloomberg. The 3D printing has reportedly been in the works for several years.
The company wants the manufacturing of Ultra models of the Apple Watch with titanium cases to involve 3D printing next year, per Bloomberg.could reportedly see the technique brought to their production. That will depend on how it pans out with the upcoming Apple Watches, according to the outlet. The use of 3D printing for the steel chassis would help boost efficiency in the, Bloomberg reported. It also involves less metal, something that would reportedly have environmental advantages.
Many have projected the announcement of Apple Watch 9 will take place at the tech giant’s rapidly-approaching "Wonderlust" event. At the same time, the widely anticipated iPhone 15 could also get an introduction. Earlier in the week, Apple scheduled Sept. 12 as the date of "Wonderlust," this year’s iteration of its annual September event. Last year’s happened Sept. 7. For the third quarter, that segment’s net sales came in at $8.28 billion. Compared to those reported in the same three-month time frame last year, they represented a lift of nearly 2.5%.

The new Apple Watches might feature 3D-printed parts.A new Bloomberg report says Apple is tinkering with 3D printing for the stainless steel version of the Apple Watch Series 9. The main goal is to purportedly streamline production, and if things go well, Apple may consider using 3D printing for its other products. The report claims that Apple’s been secretly developing this tech for three years, but it’s not a given that the first Series 9 shipments will actually feature the tech. Earlier in June, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that some of the Ultra 2’s titanium parts would also be manufactured via 3D printing. (Bloomberg says this won’t happen until 2024, however.) Ultimately this would be a small number of Apple Watches sold. Most people opt for the less expensive aluminum models, with stainless steel making up roughly 10 percent of total units.
