The Bambu Lab H3C is a tool changer 3D printer for multi-color and multi-material printing. Its Swaptek 9-tool system gives each material its own PrintTool, filament path and heater. Material switches take as little as 6 seconds, with a tool change in 3.4 seconds. Purge waste is as low as 0.038 g per change, and no filament has to be retracted before the next one loads.
The AMS 3H is a fully enclosed filament system with nine sealed slots and automatic loading. Drop a spool into any slot and it detects, routes and loads the filament into its PrintTool. Two drying slots reach 85°C and can dry PA, PC, PET, TPU and carbon-fiber filaments on demand, or mid-print with selected materials. Existing Bambu Lab AMS units can connect through PrintTool No. 1 for up to 24 filament spools in a single print.
Active Pre-Heat warms the next nozzle while the current one is still printing. The FlexFeed extruder supports 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filament and can print TPU as soft as 75A. The printer can mix nozzle sizes from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm in one print, and CMYKW color mixing works with five PLA Palette filaments. Optional CraftTools add cutting, drawing, debossing and foil transfer.
