Will Tuozhu H2C arrive as scheduled? (3D Printing)

[3D Printing] Will Bambu Lab H2C arrive as scheduled? Stay tuned to Sandima!

Is Bambu Lab H2C about to debut?
Based on the available information, we speculate on what it might look like!

As 2025 draws to a close, Bambu Lab previously announced when launching H2S that it would release H2C in the fourth quarter of 2025 .
"Will there be any exciting new products before the end of the year?" This question has likely left many Toro users and consumers waiting to buy one with doubts in their minds, and has once again attracted the attention of the global 3D printing community.
The most discussed technology is Vortek, considered a "potential revolutionary technology for multi-material printing." Although the manufacturer has not yet released official specifications...
However, based on the available publicly available information, we can roughly depict what H2C might look like.

This article is compiled by 3DMart, the official distributor of Bambu Lab in Taiwan, based on current speculation.
If you'd like to be among the first to receive information, experience, and purchase information when H2C is officially launched, please follow us or contact us!

Why is H2C considered the next "epoch-making" 3D printer?
The H2 series (H2S / H2D) has proven Bambu Lab's leading position in the field of 3D printing, while the H2C is regarded by the outside world as "the next generation of multi-material printing".
The key lies in H2C's adoption of the Vortek hot-end system, addressing a common pain point for all brands:

✔ Multi-material printing generates less waste ✔ Faster and cleaner material switching ✔ More suitable for multi-color and multi-material models ✔ More economical, more predictable, and more stable

If the speculation comes true, H2C will change the entire market's expectations for "multi-material 3D printing" and may redefine the standard for FDM technology.

Key technological breakthrough: Wireless hot-end architecture
Vortek's success hinges on the fact that its hot end requires no physical connectors and operates entirely wirelessly.
This eliminates the traditional connectors that are most prone to failure.
This achieves the groundbreaking feat of a single toolhead being compatible with up to six hot ends.

Compared to existing multi-material solutions, Vortek represents the "fourth paradigm."
Currently, there are three main approaches to multi-material FDM:
AMS type (single nozzle replacement): most convenient, but generates a lot of waste and is not friendly to consumable costs.
Palette splicing method: highly versatile, but the joint is unstable, noisy, and unreliable.
Tool changer head type: The most professional, but it is huge, expensive and complicated to calibrate.

Vortek's strategy is to retain the powerful functionality of the tool changer head form, but with lower cost, simpler structure, and less waste, thus being regarded as the "fourth paradigm" that may completely rewrite the rules of the market.

The significance of H2C for Taiwanese users
As the authorized distributor of Bambu Lab in Taiwan, 3DMart has long assisted engineers, educational institutions, designers, and model creators in adopting 3D printing technology.
We believe that H2C, once launched, may bring the following value to users:

◎ For engineering and manufacturing: Reduce the cost of multi-material prototyping
Completely eliminate purge waste, directly reducing the cost per sample.
◎ For teaching environments: a cleaner system with lower material consumption
No more dealing with piles of "bamboo excrement," making it easier to maintain the environment and protect the environment.
◎ For model creators: True creative freedom in multicoloring
Multiple colors and materials are no longer limited by speed and waste.
◎ For studios and commercial users: Actual productivity improvements
Faster material switching and more predictable processes make it ideal for commercial printing machines.

Unknowns that remain to be solved
Is the long-term durability of wireless hot-connectors reliable? What is the cost per hot-connector?
Has the software matured to the point where it is competitive? Can H2C pricing be competitive?

If these problems can be properly resolved, H2C could very well become the "holy grail" of FDM multicolor printing!
