"According to the latest edition of Gurman's Power On newsletter, the Cupertino-based tech giant's manufacturing design team and operations department are working on ways to 3D print aluminium enclosures for future Apple Watch models. This will reportedly bring greater efficiency to the manufacturing process of the company's smartwatches. Apple is expected to equip its future iPhone models with the new 3D-printed aluminium enclosures, too."
"The new MacBook Neo, which was launched in India and other global markets on March 4, reportedly leverages a new "aluminium manufacturing process", allowing the company to use a relatively lower quantity of the metal, helping them save material and manufacturing cost."
"Apple previously revealed that it had equipped its latest Apple Watch Ultra 3 with a 3D-printed titanium enclosure. To recap, the smartwatch was launched globally in September last year at a starting price of $799 (roughly Rs. 71,000). It is offered in two case options, dubbed Natural Titanium and Black Titanium."
Apple recently launched new devices including MacBook Air with M5 chip, MacBook Neo with innovative aluminium manufacturing processes, and MacBook Pro with M5 Max and M5 Pro processors. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's manufacturing and operations teams are developing 3D printing capabilities for aluminium enclosures in future Apple Watch and iPhone models. This technology aims to enhance manufacturing efficiency. The company previously used 3D-printed titanium enclosures in the Apple Watch Ultra 3, launched in September at $799. The new MacBook Neo demonstrates Apple's commitment to cost-effective manufacturing through advanced material processes, suggesting a broader strategy to implement 3D printing across multiple product lines.
