3D Printers
- Enclosed CoreXY Printers — Fast, versatile machines good for most work. Enclosure allows ABS/ASA in addition to PLA and PETG.
- Bambu Lab H2D — Our flagship. Large-format (350×320×325mm), fully enclosed, dual-nozzle printer with a hardened steel 350°C hotend, 120°C bed, and active chamber heating up to 65°C. Best choice for big parts, two-material prints, and engineering filaments. 📄 Full Machine Wiki Guide →

- Bambu Lab P1S (×3) — Enclosed CoreXY workhorses (256×256×256mm). Same Bambu Studio workflow as the X1C and H2D; fast, reliable, and easy to use for everyday prints. 📄 Full Machine Wiki Guide →

- Snapmaker U1 — Four-toolhead toolchanger (270×270×270mm). Each head holds its own preheated filament, so multi-color/multi-material prints swap heads in seconds with almost no purge waste.
