March 22, 2025 – Bambu Lab, a well-known Chinese manufacturer of desktop 3D printers, is set to launch its latest model, the H2D.
This new printer will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, March 25, at 3 PM CET. Designed with professionals in mind, the H2D promises cutting-edge performance and improved printing capabilities.
A Closer Look at the H2D
Since March 18, Bambu Lab has been teasing details about the H2D, confirming key features such as a dual extruder system and servo motor technology.
This marks a shift toward more industrial-grade capabilities, setting it apart from the company’s previous models. The H2D is expected to replace the X1 series as Bambu Lab’s new flagship printer, appealing to users who need high-performance and precision.
Excitement around the H2D is growing, with many comparing the anticipation to when Will.I.AM spoke about 3D printing at the 2015 Davos Economic Forum.
Media outlets and 3D printing enthusiasts have been speculating on the printer’s features, adding to the buzz.
What to Expect from the H2D?
Since its previously postponed release in October last year, many have been eager to learn more about the H2D’s specifications.
Rumors suggest it will offer Bambu Lab’s largest build volume yet (350 x 320 x 325 mm), an upgraded AMS system, heated filament storage, and possibly an integrated laser cutter.
Pricing details have not been confirmed, but industry experts believe it will be the company’s most premium offering to date.
Leaked promotional materials hint that Bambu Lab is focusing on expanding its market share and pushing the boundaries of industrial innovation with the H2D.
With print farms gaining popularity, the company is positioning this printer as a potential game-changer for high-demand printing applications.
Advancing Desktop 3D Printing
The dual extruder system in the H2D is a major upgrade over Bambu Lab’s earlier single-nozzle models.
This feature helps reduce filament waste and makes switching between materials more efficient, which is especially useful for multi-material printing.
Additionally, the servo motor system is expected to provide greater precision and speed than traditional stepper motors, helping to improve overall print quality.
Market Impact and Growth Trends
Bambu Lab’s influence in the 3D printing industry continues to grow.
According to market intelligence firm CONTEXT, in Q4 2023, the company became the leading desktop 3D printer manufacturer, shipping nearly one million units—a 35% year-over-year increase. Even more impressively, sales revenue skyrocketed by 3000% in the same period.
The momentum carried into 2024, with global shipments rising by 26% in Q1, despite declines of 7% in the mid-range segment and 34% in the professional-grade market.
By Q3 2024, Bambu Lab had further expanded its market share, while industrial and mid-tier segments saw declines of 24% and 8%, respectively.
Although the growth of the entry-level 3D printer market has slowed, experts predict a 30% year-over-year increase in the broader 3D printing sector by the end of 2024, while mid-range printer shipments are expected to drop by 8%.
With the H2D’s launch just around the corner, Bambu Lab is set to further shape the desktop 3D printing landscape, providing advanced capabilities for professionals and creators looking for high-performance solutions.
