Why though?
Will it be another dead-end project that ends in mass layoff like Apple Car?
It will be the juicero of 3d printers.
Too many companies doing awesome shit and research. Too much open source stuff, too much community. Plus to actually properly utilize a 3d printer you must know CAD, and apple would have to make their own cad app.
I'll be glad when they fail, might as well launch a raspberry pi competitor while they are at it.

Now Apple makes dildos

Source? Closest news I found is a printer made by a *former* Apple employee.
Though I did see one interesting headline bringing up 3D printing being paired with AR kit. Which would bring printing to the masses (with money,) and you know that shit is going to work seamlessly.

Apple is a consumer-oriented company.
3D modelling is too difficult for normies.
They're probably readying some sort of 3D printable object marketplace if they're getting into 3D printing, like Thingiverse, but overpriced and Jewish as fuck.

Modeling from the ground up, yes. But there's stuff like Autocad 123D that does a pretty good job capturing with just your phone.

top fucking kek. it's going to cost thousands of dollars, can only use a proprietary polymer, and the kicker of course is that the proprietary software only prints some proprietary file type so there's nothing to make except like Mac Book case covers which will be banned by Apple anyway.
It'll probably be used at apple stores to make wearables that fit you perfectly and the printer itself won't actually be sold to consumers

I can already see applefags creating vapes with their 3d printers

OP thinks a patent filing means they're working on one.
It will be a average printer charged 10 times the price of one the same quality, but some how, some where some mac fag will buy it
