We have known since last year that Bambu Lab would be releasing a larger 3D printer, and the wait is finally over.
In addition to features like dual extruders and a fully enclosed design, it comes equipped with many capabilities beyond 3D printing.
This printer is coming soon, with the pre-order price for the H2D starting at 1,899 USD.
The H2D Combo, which includes the new AMS 2 Pro, is priced at 2,199 USD.
Pre-order prices for the H2D Laser version are 2,799 USD or 3,499 USD, depending on the chosen laser power.
This model includes all the new features Bambu Labs has designed specifically for this machine.
It is an incredibly versatile and excellent printer, and you can catch a glimpse of this in the official introductory video.
Specifically, the H2D is suitable for professionals looking to upgrade their equipment and for makers tackling a variety of complex projects.

What is the Bambu Lab H2D?
Even the H2D 3D printer unit alone packs a lot of technology into its 492 x 514 x 625 mm footprint.
Bambu Lab has developed new servo motors for the H2D's extruders.
Called Dynasense, these motors differ from stepper motors. Stepper motors move in fixed increments and, depending on the system, cannot provide feedback on actual position or misalignment after a skip.
Bambu Lab's new motors provide this feedback, allowing for better control over filament flow.
According to the company, combining these motors with Bambu Lab’s unique advanced algorithms allows for finer control over extrusion quality during printing.
Sensors and cameras are placed throughout the printer. From a dedicated nozzle camera that monitors for print inconsistencies or errors, to an eddy current sensor that monitors hotend alignment during switching, a lot of invisible processing supports the H2D's stable operation.
The dual extruder is a key feature, with the H2D's print head housing two hotends side-by-side.
These hardened, high-flow hotends can heat up to 350°C and can feed filament from individual spools or independent AMS units.
This allows for the use of multiple colors or materials in the same print.
The H2D's active chamber heating better controls the environment and maintains stability even for materials prone to warping.
The H2D can operate multiple openings in the chassis to draw in cool air and exhaust filtered air.
This allows you to print PLA with the door closed.
Out of the 350 mm wide print bed, the width available for printing is limited to 300–325 mm. This is a common constraint for dual-extruder 3D printers.
Overall, you have a build volume of 300–325 x 325 x 320 mm, a print bed that can heat up to 120°C, and double-sided textured PEI plates.
Bambu Lab rates the H2D's print speed at 1,000 mm/s and acceleration at 20,000 mm/s.
While the technical top speed is twice that of the traditional X1E, it is unlikely you will consistently operate at that maximum speed in actual practice.
To increase 3D printing precision, Bambu Lab also offers an encoder plate (sold separately).
Similar to a print plate, this sheet is covered with fine, machine-readable codes that the printer's camera can detect.
By combining this sheet with advanced calibration procedures, the deviation in the H2D's motion accuracy across the entire build area can be kept under 0.05 mm with 95% confidence.
What else can it do?
In addition to 3D printing with dual extruders, it also features a 2D cutting mode.
With a blade attachment, you can cut thin sheet materials such as vinyl, paper, and cardstock.
There are also two types of laser modules (10W and 40W), allowing for cutting thicker materials depending on the power output.
Bambu Lab places great importance on the safety of the H2D Laser version. It comes with necessary safety equipment, including numerous flame sensors, AI-powered fire detection, windows that block harmful light, an emergency stop button, and a portable safety key.
The H2D's new non-3D printing features are controlled via new software called Bambu Suite. You can use vector and bitmap files to perform contour cutting, engraving, and more.
Just like 3D print files, 2D files and projects combining both will be integrated into MakerWorld and treated as standard in the library.
The H2D Laser version is scheduled to begin shipping in April.
New AMS Options
Announced today alongside the H2D, the AMS 2 Pro is a redesigned AMS unit that retains a familiar look while integrating the highly requested filament drying function.
According to Bambu Lab, it also features a smart ventilation system that exhausts moist air and seals the device to keep filament in optimal condition.
The AMS 2 Pro can heat up to 65 ºC to dry filament and can be operated from the printer or via software on smartphones and computers.
Bambu Lab also offers the AMS HT for a single spool.
The AMS HT is sold separately, supports the same materials as the AMS 2 Pro, but can heat up to 85 ºC and can also rotate the spool while drying.
Unlike the AMS 2 Pro, which displays humidity information only on the printer and software, the AMS HT is equipped with a display, allowing you to check the current humidity and the status of drying tasks at a glance.
Bambu Lab also explains that the filament feeding function of the AMS 2 Pro is already available on the X and P series and has some backward compatibility.
Full utilization of the drying function will require a firmware update, for which the timing is not yet determined.
The AMS HT is also planned to eventually support the X and P series. Both may require additional parts such as power supplies.
The H2D expands the number of AMS units that can be used simultaneously compared to the X and P series, allowing for the connection of 4 AMS or AMS 2 Pro units, or 8 AMS HT units.
This allows for a total of 24 spools of filament to be used in a single job. However, we have not yet seen the actual configuration or operation.
Doing so will likely require additional hub-like equipment that Bambu Lab has not yet released.
Like the X and P series, the AMS Lite is not compatible with the H2D, as the methods for feeding filament and adjusting movement differ.
