According to Bloomberg, the company wants 3D printing to be involved in manufacturing the Ultra model of the Apple Watch next year with a titanium case.
In the future, other devices could reportedly see the technology brought into their production. According to the outlet, it will depend on how it fares with the upcoming Apple Watches.
