(Image credit: Future) Jump To: First look at the H3C Specs & features Copy link Email Share this article 1 Join the conversation Follow us Add us as a preferred source on Google Newsletter Subscribe to our newsletter Bambu Lab has just proven exactly why it remains the most innovative brand on the market when it comes to 3D printing. The all-new H3C pushes boundaries unlike any machine I've used before, blending an exquisite tool-swap design with multi-material compatibility, multi-diameter printing, options for processes like cutting and foil transfer, as well as filament storage and drying, all in one beast of a unit.I honestly think Bambu Lab might have single-handedly mastered 3D printing with this mic drop of an announcement. I know that's a bold statement, but I can say with confidence, having tested the H3C for the past few weeks, that nothing else even comes close.

Purge waste? Eradicated. Wet filament? Not anymore. Long print times? Cut in half thanks to the H3C and Swaptek technology. I'm not sure what else can be improved.VIDEO: A first look at the Bambu Lab H3CBambu Lab H3C: specs & featuresWhere to begin? The highlights boil down to the new Swaptek tool changer, comprising 9 PrintTools (nozzle + a PTFE tube), each with its own filament path for effortless and speedy colour changes in under 6 seconds.Not to mention there's the new FlexFeed extruder, which accommodates both 1.75mm filament and 2.85mm filament for super soft TPU like the 75A Bambu Lab spools I've been testing. The new AMS 3H is humongous, and has been superbly designed to not only store your filament but dry it too, with 2 dedicated chamber slots. Several of the spool slots also have what the company calls a bypass feed, so using materials that aren't suitable for AMS auto-loading, like TPU, has never been easier (I've got a video on this coming soon).Get the Creative Bloq NewsletterSign up to Creative Bloq's daily newsletter, which brings you the latest news and inspiration from the worlds of art, design and technology.

You can always get yourself a Bambu Lab R1 if you want to join the laser cutting club, or check out some of the best laser cutters and engravers out there from brands like xTool and Creality.It seems like Bambu is on a mission to conquer the craft space, having launched its first standalone laser this year with the R1, and having recently announced that it's dipping its toe into 3D scanners as well. I'm calling it now: in 2027, there will be a Bambu Lab sticker maker, keyring machine, or some type of mini portable maker.Will you be preordering one? Let's discuss in the comments below.
