Bambu Lab has introduced the X2D, the second-generation system in its flagship X Series of desktop 3D printers. The new machine features a dual-nozzle extrusion system with mechanical switching, designed to simplify support removal, reduce material waste, and maintain consistent print quality over time. The system is positioned as a workflow-focused upgrade rather than a speed-driven iteration, with pricing starting at $649.

Building on the automated calibration and enclosed architecture introduced with the X1 Carbon, the X2D targets remaining constraints in desktop 3D printing workflows. These include post-processing effort and material inefficiencies during multi-material printing.

Dual-nozzle system targets support removal and material efficiency

At the core of the X2D is a dual-nozzle extrusion system with mechanical switching. One nozzle is dedicated to printing the model, while the second handles support material.…
