Bambu Lab Announces H3C Nine-Nozzle Tool-Changing 3D Printer
Bambu Lab has unveiled the H3C, a high-end 3D printer priced at $2,499 that features a nine-nozzle tool-changing system. Utilizing the new 'Swaptek' technology, the machine can switch between different print heads in approximately six seconds, allowing users to mix colors, varying material hardness (such as TPU and PLA), and different nozzle diameters within a single print job. A significant technical addition is the AMS 3H auto-loading container, which stores nine filament rolls in an airtight environment. To address common print failure causes, two of these slots include integrated dryers capable of reaching 85 degrees Celsius. While competitors like Snapmaker and Prusa offer tool-changing capabilities, Bambu Lab's integration of active filament drying represents a strategic move to improve reliability for high-end consumer and prosumer users.
