Bambu Lab has launched its third-generation H3C 3D printing system, notable for its nine-tool Swaptek know-how.
The corporate expects the printer to get rid of ‘long-standing compromises’ between velocity, reliability, and multi-material functionality. H3C printers can be found for $2,499 and have been designed to deliver multi-material and multi-colour 3D printing to the desktop.
Key to that is the Swaptek tool-changer know-how, which permits 9 impartial print instruments to be completely loaded and pre-heated, able to be printed. Switching between totally different filaments is claimed to take lower than six seconds, delivering what Bambu is describing as a ‘single, seamless, one-click workflow.’
By working with 9 supplies, the corporate suggests customers will be capable of mix inflexible engineering polymers, dissolvable helps, and ultra-soft rubber-like supplies, similar to TPU (as comfortable as 75A) in a single half. Potential utility alternatives, Bambu notes, might embody lighter footwear, extra ergonomic baggage and hybrid units that have been beforehand unattainable to provide in a single cross.
With Swaptek, customers may also be capable of utilise a number of nozzle sizes in the identical half – similar to a 0.2mm for finer particulars and 0.4 mm to construct the majority of the half.
Different options of the brand new printer embody the hermetic Sensible Filament Administration storage system that reads materials varieties by way of RFID and is paired with an 85°C built-in drying module, and automatic tool-offset compensation, bed-leveling, and lively G-code pre-heating capabilities.
Bambu says the H3C has been designed with a 40% lighter movement platform than earlier programs, which permits blazing speeds as much as 1,400 mm/s.
