Early in release cycle — no urgency to wait
Best for: Professional makers and studios who need Bambu's largest enclosed build volume for high-throughput production, engineering materials, and optional AMS multicolor — without the complexity of dual-nozzle printing.
Full details →Just released — full support runway ahead
Best for: Professional makers who want the X1C's footprint with true dual-material capability, an active heated chamber for engineering filaments, and improved filtration — without stepping up to the larger, pricier H2 series.

The H2S offers 220% the print volume of the X1C. At 1000 mm/s it is also Bambu's fastest printer, making it the top choice for high-throughput professional production.
The enclosed chamber with active heating handles the full engineering filament spectrum — ABS, ASA, PA, PA-CF, PC, and PPS — with consistent results across the full build plate.
The H2S supports up to 12 AMS units (4 AMS 2 Pro + 8 AMS HT), enabling 24-filament printing for large-format multicolor production.
A second Bowden-fed nozzle enables two-material prints and soluble supports without a purge tower, in the same compact 256 mm class as the X1C it replaces.
Unlike the X1C's passive chamber warming, the X2D actively heats to 65°C — enough for the bulk of engineering filaments including ABS, ASA, and nylon.
Improved filtration and a toolhead-mounted camera add safety and monitoring over the X1C's chamber camera.
