New 2023 Apple Watch Ultra to Feature 3D Printed Parts [Report]

According to TF International Securities analyst, Apple plans to use 3D-printed parts in its next-generation Apple Watch Ultra. Ming-Chi Kuo.

Apple’s latest survey shows that the company is actively adopting 3D printer technology. Some of the titanium mechanical components of the 2H23 Apple Watch Ultra are expected to be 3D printed.

Kuo points out that 3D-printed parts can reduce production costs and improve production speed, even though they still need to be processed by CNC for the back-end.

IPG Photonics is the only supplier of laser parts for 3D printers, and Farsoon, BLT, and Farsoon are also part of this supply chain.

Kuo thinks that if the shipments go smoothly, Apple will use 3D printing more often. This will reduce production costs and improve ESG in Apple’s supply chains. These suppliers will also be able to benefit from the new production trend.
