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.
Active chamber temperature control enables reliable ABS, ASA, PA, and PC printing without warping.
500 mm/s print speed with Bambu's vibration compensation delivers fast, accurate prints.
With the P2S released, P1S prices are at their lowest — an opportunity for budget-conscious buyers.
