Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is reportedly testing 3D printers to make the steel chassis used by some of its upcoming Apple Watches.

The new approach from the U.S. tech giant could potentially make its supply chain more efficient and also cut the time it would take to build devices and reduce its environmental impact due to using less material, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The 3D printing work is being done internally by Apple's manufacturing design team, Bloomberg reported. If the tests on the Apple Watch work out, Apple ( AAPL) could expand the use of 3D printing to other products in the future, the news outlet added, citing the people.

Apple ( AAPL) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.

Shares of 3D printing companies Stratasys ( SSYS) and 3D Systems ( DDD) moved higher on back of the report.
