(Reuters) - Apple is testing 3D printers to make the steel frames of some of its upcoming smartwatches, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The production technique would render obsolete the need to cut parts of metal into the product's shape, reducing the time it takes to make the devices and also helping the environment, according to the report.
