Bambu's largest bed-slinger build volume, big enough to print full-size helmets and large props in a single piece rather than in glued sections.
The A2L stores several calibration sets at different heights up the Z axis to keep the faint vertical banding of tall bed-slinger prints under control.
An add-on blade-cutting and pen module extends the A2L beyond printing for sticker cutting and plotting workflows.
The H2C's Vortek system swaps hotends wirelessly — no filament purging, no switching waste. Each material has its own dedicated nozzle, enabling true multi-material production including soluble support combinations.
With up to 6 active hotends and the Vortek architecture, the H2C supports 7 simultaneous material slots — the highest material count in Bambu's lineup.
At $2,399, the H2C is positioned above the H2S as Bambu's flagship professional tool-changer — targeting studios and engineers who outgrow filament-switching AMS multicolor.
