3D printers are steadily making their way into more homes and businesses. These days, additive manufacturing is no longer exclusively available for industrial use only. There’s a make and model for every budget range, which is contributing to its mass adoption. Still, Bambu Lab presents the H3C — a multi-material platform that streamlines any workflow.
With a $2,500 USD price tag, this bad boy is engineered for convenience and versatility. It uses fused filament fabrication technology to switch seamlessly between whatever your project needs. Each unit measures 493 mm x 571 mm x 587 mm and weighs approximately 80 lbs. The frame is steel, while the enclosure uses plastic.
Elsewhere, the extruder gear and nozzle are made of steel. Bambu Lab recommends allocating 593 mm x 1056 mm x 1306 mm of space for optimal performance. Grab the Station L accessory for extra storage space and ease of transport, while the E1 keeps the air free from chemical smells. The H3C can handle builds up to 330 mm x 320 mm x 325 mm.
For a sleek look, the filament spools sit inside a special enclosure. Nine PrintTools, each with its own dedicated filament path and heater, keep every material loaded, preheated, and ready to print. No need to retract one filament before loading another,” reads the marketing page.
If you love working with soft TPU, the FlexFeeder system prints up to three times faster. Moreover, the H3C can handle 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filaments with a softness rating of 75A. Meanwhile, Bambu Lab’s Swaptek technology is compatible with optional add-ons such as the DebossTool, CutTool, and DrawTool.
