Apple has fully transitioned to 3D-printed titanium enclosures for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11.

Originally reported by MSN

Apple has fully transitioned to 3D-printed titanium enclosures for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11. By utilizing 100 percent recycled aerospace-grade powder and multi-laser systems, this move reduces raw material usage by 50 percent compared to traditional forging. The systemic shift is projected to save over 400 metric tons of titanium in 2025 alone. This milestone proves Additive Manufacturing can sustain the high-volume yields required for global consumer electronics ⌚🚀. #AdditiveManufacturing #Titanium #AppleWatch #Sustainability #3DPrinting
