The most heard name in the 3D printer world in 2023

We are pleased to announce that we have added selected Bambu Lab 3D printers (the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, the AMS, the P1S and the Bambu Lab X1E) to our range.

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, Bambu Lab’s flagship 3D printer that made a splash in the 3D printing community in 2023, is finally available in a Swiss store. This news should delight both beginners and advanced users in Switzerland.

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon impresses with its impressive technical features. With an all-metal hotend that reaches up to 300°C and a hardened steel nozzle, this printer is ideal for specialized materials such as PA-CF and PC. The name “Carbon” in the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon mainly refers to the use of carbon fibers in its construction. The use of carbon fibers, especially in the printer’s X-axis system, helps to reduce weight and increase stability. These lightweight but robust materials improve the precision and speed of the printer by reducing the mass that needs to be moved during the printing process.

Versatility through the Automatic Material System (AMS)

At the heart of the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is the innovative Automatic Material System (AMS). This system revolutionizes 3D printing with its ability to automatically switch between different filaments. This means that users can seamlessly switch between a variety of colors and materials without the need for manual intervention. This flexibility opens up new horizons for creative designs and complex projects where different materials and colors are required. In addition, the AMS ensures optimal filament storage by controlling moisture and keeping the materials in an ideal condition. This is particularly important for materials that are sensitive to moisture.

Speed paired with precision

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon sets new standards in terms of speed and precision in 3D printing. With an impressive acceleration of up to 20 m/s² and a printing speed of up to 500 mm/s, this printer enables fast production without compromising on quality. This speed is achieved through an advanced CoreXY construction known for its stability and precision. The printer’s welded frame further contributes to overall stability, meaning that even at high speeds, print quality is not compromised. These features make the X1 Carbon ideal for projects where time is a critical factor, without sacrificing attention to detail and final finish.

Sustainability and ease of use

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is not only a technological powerhouse, but also a pioneer in environmental friendliness. With a CO2 footprint reduced by 80% and a 20% reduction in plastic consumption, this printer sets new standards in environmentally conscious production. These sustainability features are particularly important for companies and individuals who value environmental responsibility. In addition to its environmental credentials, the X1 Carbon is also renowned for its ease of use. In silent mode, the printer operates at just 50dB, making it a pleasant addition to any workplace. Its intuitive operation and easy set-up make it attractive for both beginners and experienced users.

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon compared to P1P and P1S

Compared to Bambu Lab’s P1P and P1S models, the X1 Carbon offers advanced features for specialized applications, while the P1P and P1S models are excellent for general purposes.

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon offers some impressive AI features that set it apart from the P1P and P1S models. Here are some of the key features:

1. AI-powered evolution: the X1 Carbon uses artificial intelligence to optimize the printing process. This includes automatic bed leveling and bed height cross-checking to ensure a consistent and accurate first layer.
2. Spaghetti error detection: One of the most innovative features of the X1 Carbon is its ability to detect printing errors such as “spaghetti” (messy filament build-up). The printer’s AI can identify such issues and automatically pause printing to avoid wasting material and ensure print quality.
3. Active Vibration Compensation: The X1 Carbon uses AI to detect and compensate for vibrations during the printing process. This results in improved print quality, especially at high speeds.
4. Bambu Micro Lidar: Another AI function is the Bambu Micro Lidar, which gives 3D printing precision in the micrometer range. The system scans the nozzle height and calibrates the printer for optimal print quality.

These AI features make the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon an advanced and user-friendly 3D printer that is ideal for demanding printing tasks. Compared to the P1P and P1S models, the X1 Carbon offers higher precision, improved reliability and smarter error detection, making it an excellent choice for professional and industrial applications.

Bambu Lab X1E compared to the X1 Carbon

The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is known for its extremely fast printing speeds and its closed installation space concept. Equipped with a Lidar sensor, it offers impressive precision in first layer measurement. This, along with AI-driven camera monitoring, allows the X1 Carbon to automatically make calibrations and adjustments – a great advantage for those who value ease of use and efficiency. Its 256 x 256 x 256 mm printing plate and a direct-drive extruder with all-metal hotend and hardened steel nozzle make it versatile for a wide range of filament types.

In contrast, the Bambu Lab X1E goes one step further in technological innovation. It stands out with advanced networking capabilities, including stable Ethernet connections and advanced Wi-Fi authentication, making it ideal for complex network environments. A significant feature of the X1E is its sophisticated air filtration system, which consists of a G3 pre-filter, an H12 HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter to ensure clean air quality during the printing process. Another notable feature is its active temperature control capability, which optimizes the printing process, especially with difficult materials. With a maximum nozzle temperature of 320 °C, the X1E opens up possibilities for printing more advanced materials such as PPA-CF/GF and PPS.

Its CoreXY motion structure is reinforced with high-quality carbon fiber rods, resulting in higher acceleration and speed while maintaining quality.

While the X1 Carbon remains an excellent option for users who value high print quality and ease of use, the X1E offers additional features and enhancements that make it ideal for more demanding applications and professional printing environments. Both models demonstrate Bambu Lab’s commitment to innovation and quality in the 3D printing space, but depending on your specific needs and applications, one of these printers may be better suited for you.
