Vortek System: The Foundation of Continuous Multicolor Printing

Bambu Lab H2C with the Vortek system completely changes the approach to working with colors. The patented Vortek Hotend Change technology not only expands the capabilities of color printing, it allows implementing complex projects with impressive ease and full automation.

Up to 7 colors in one project

The printer uses up to six interchangeable hotends, enabling printing with seven colors without excessive waste.

Palette expansion with AMS

Connecting to AMS increases the available number of filaments to 24, opening wide possibilities for multicolor and multimaterial printing.

Minimal material waste

Each nozzle is “assigned” to its filament, which practically eliminates the need for purge lines.

Fast and contactless operation

The contactless communication system stores parameters of each hotend, and induction heating allows it to heat up in just 8 seconds.

Smart Automation: a printer that works for you

Nozzle memory

Each nozzle stores data about the last filament, speeding up the setup of new tasks.

Contactless calibration

The system calibrates the nozzles without mechanical contact — less wear and easier maintenance.

Powerful monitoring system

59 sensors and 4 cameras, operating under a neural algorithm, monitor the printer’s condition and current processes in real time.

Failure protection

There is power outage recovery, as well as sensors for filament breakage, end-of-filament, and tangling.

Professional precision and high performance

Key features of Bambu Lab H2C*

• Print speed: up to 1000 mm/s, acceleration — up to 20,000 mm/s²
• Motion accuracy: less than 50 microns thanks to Vision Encoder
• Extrusion: PMSM servo motor with a feeding force up to 10 kg (70% more powerful than a stepper motor)
• High temperatures: nozzle — up to 350 °C, bed — up to 120 °C, chamber — up to 65 °C
• These parameters make the H2C an optimal solution for engineering plastics and complex models.

Safety and expandability

Triple filtration

A housing made of fire-resistant materials and G3, HEPA H12, and carbon filters capture particles and odors when working with technical materials.

Additional tools

The printer can be turned into a laser machine by installing a 10 W or 40 W module.

Ease of control

• A 5-inch touchscreen, mobile app, and Bambu Studio provide full control. The slicer automatically distributes filaments across the nozzles.
• Configuration options for the Bambu Lab H2C 3D printer
• Standard set
• Basic model for most tasks.
• Ultimate Set
• Includes two AMS modules with 4 slots each and six induction hotends — maximum capabilities for multicolor printing.
• Upgrade from H2D

For H2D owners, an easy upgrade to H2C is provided by replacing the head and assembling the updated unit.

3D printer with automatic nozzle change: application areas

• Prototyping and design: complex models in up to 7 colors without excessive waste.
• Engineering: working with ABS, PC, PA, and other engineering plastics.
• Small production: fast serial printing.
• Creativity and hobbies: bright figurines, cosplay, decorative items.
