Bambu Lab has unveiled the H2D, a versatile 3D printer that integrates laser cutting, pen plotting, and material slicing functionalities. Designed for prosumer hobbyists, the H2D aims to consolidate multiple fabrication tools into a single, modular device.
- Dual 3D Printing Nozzles: The H2D is equipped with two nozzles, enhancing printing efficiency and enabling multi-material or multi-color prints.
- Expanded Build Area: The printer offers a larger build volume, accommodating more substantial projects and providing greater flexibility in design.
- Modular Attachment System: A quick-release mount allows users to interchange tools such as blades for cutting paper and vinyl, pens for drawing, and lasers for engraving.
Preorders for the Bambu H2D are scheduled to commence in June. The base model is priced at $1,899, with packages including full laser capabilities reaching up to $3,499.
While the H2D introduces a range of innovative features, early evaluations indicate that software limitations and inconsistencies in 3D print reliability may require further refinement. Prospective users are advised to consider these factors when assessing the printer’s suitability for their needs.
The Bambu H2D represents a significant advancement in multifunctional fabrication tools, aiming to streamline the creative process for hobbyists and professionals alike by combining multiple functionalities into a single device.
