Bambu Lab has introduced the H2C, a new 3D printer built for seven-color single-pass printing and advanced multi-material output. It launches in China and global markets with sales starting on November 18. The U.S. release date is still unconfirmed, and the company plans to expand availability to Latin America in December.
Pricing
Bambu Lab is selling the H2C in multiple configurations. The base H2C AMS Combo starts at 14,999 yuan in China and €2,249 in global markets. The H2C Laser Full Combo with its 10-watt module is priced at €2,799, while the top-tier 40-watt laser version comes in at €3,349. All variants support automatic material switching and purge-saving color transitions that help lower waste during multi-color prints.
Bambu Lab H2C Specifications
The H2C can print six filament colors and a seventh nozzle for support or a secondary color in a single job. Bambu Lab’s Vortek hotend change system and AMS automatic filament feed enable continuous color or material switching with minimal purge waste. According to internal benchmarks, the H2C reduces filament waste by over 50% compared to previous models while cutting print times nearly in half.
The printer supports combinations of up to seven materials within one job. It handles TPU for flexible sections, carbon and glass fiber composites for stronger parts, and engineered polymers like PA6-GF and PC-FR. These capabilities allow mixed-property models to be produced in a single continuous workflow without requiring assembly.
The extruder uses a PMSM servo motor capable of delivering up to 10 kilograms of force, which improves reliability and extrusion precision over standard stepper motors. The system reaches speeds of 1000 mm per second and accelerations of 20,000 mm per second squared. Its vision encoder keeps motion deviation below 50 micrometers, while eddy current sensors automatically tune pressure advance for consistent flow.
The H2C includes 59 internal sensors and a quad-camera monitoring system. Its macro nozzle camera identifies extrusion problems in real time, while the pre-flight inspection routine checks bed cleanliness and overall setup before each print. The unit uses a 5-inch touchscreen for on-device control and supports both desktop and mobile app management.
The printer supports nozzle temperatures up to 350 °C and relies on a 65 °C actively heated chamber to process high-temperature materials. Its three-stage filtration system manages particles and odors produced by engineering-grade filaments.
The H2C runs entirely offline when needed, includes MQTT access for developers, and delivers multiple camera angles for remote monitoring. It also offers a 325×320×325 mm build volume and comes with a textured PEI plate.
In related news, Epson recently introduced new EcoTank printers that promise lower running costs and faster print speeds, and Anker has launched the eufyMake E1 printer with pro-grade 3D texture printing aimed at home studios.
