Apple’s foldable phone, the Duo, uses AI and 3D printing to design and build a critical hinge to improve alignment and reduce imperfections. Apple says its process 3D prints up to 25 micro layers of a custom photopolymer per hinge unit. Apple claims this, along with additional durability-focused design protections, should reduce the typical wear seen in foldables over time, though long-term results are not yet proven.
