Bambu Lab Announces H2S and Vortek H2C, Advancing Waste-Free Multi‑Color 3D Printing

H2C is slated for release before Christmas with an upgrade path for current H‑series owners.

Overview

  • The H2S debuts as a lower-priced, single‑nozzle model that closely mirrors the H2D, with a 340×320×340 mm build volume and compatibility with the 10W laser module.
  • Early hands-on coverage reports that H2S retains high-end features such as a servo motor extruder, advanced airflow, and broad filament support including a dedicated TPU path.
  • Reported pricing for H2S starts at $1,249, with a $1,499 combo that bundles Bambu Lab’s AMS2 multi‑material system.
  • The newly announced Vortek H2C introduces wireless, chip‑enabled nozzles that can be swapped robotically for up to seven colors, aiming to eliminate purge waste from color changes.
  • Bambu Lab has not disclosed H2C pricing, and journalists expect a higher price due to added mechanics and nozzle banks, while CEO Dr. Ye Tao says H2D and H2S can be upgraded with user effort.
