Video: The first watch made with 3D printing technology

Christoph Laimer, a Swiss engineer, successfully built a pocket watch with 3D printing technology.

Accordingly, with the exception of screws, gaskets and hooks, all other components of this watch are 3D printed plastic materials.

Looking at the picture, we will see that Laimer's watch has many disadvantages: the size is too large, the time accuracy cannot be guaranteed, it only works for 30 minutes thanks to the spinning system.

Most components of this watch are 3D printed plastic materials.

However, the creation of a complex and demanding system with 3D printing technology is an impressive achievement for the Swiss engineer.

In the future, watchmakers can produce cheap, good quality 3D printed watches.

Laimer's watch not only shows the great potential of 3D printing technology, but also shows that watchmakers in the near future can take advantage of this technology in a more advanced way to give launched the cheap but good quality and highly reliable 3D printed watch models.
