The 3D printing industry could soon welcome a major new release, as Bambu Lab has updated its homepage with a teaser that strongly hints at an upcoming product launch. The banner, featuring the slogan “Xcellence made simple,” leaves little room for doubt: a new printer is on the way, and it’s likely designed to succeed the popular X1 series.
The timing is far from coincidental. Just days ago, the company confirmed the gradual phase-out of its X1 lineup, creating a noticeable gap in its product range. Now, that gap appears ready to be filled. Leaks and speculation point clearly toward a next-generation model, widely expected to debut as the Bambu Lab X2D.
Design and early features: what we know so far
The teaser images shared by Bambu Lab reveal several intriguing details that have already caught the attention of the community. One of the most notable elements is the apparent inclusion of a dual hotend system, similar to what we’ve seen on more advanced models like the H2D, suggesting support for multi-material or multi-color printing.
Another standout feature is a visible front-facing module that resembles the LiDAR system introduced with the X1 series. This component plays a key role in automatic calibration and print quality optimization, so its return could signal further improvements in precision and ease of use.
Early expectations also suggest that the new printer could include an advanced chamber temperature management system, with both heating and cooling capabilities. The build volume is rumored to be around 256 mm³, while a full suite of integrated cameras may provide real-time monitoring and quality control during prints.
April 14 launch confirmed: all eyes on Bambu Lab
At this stage, Bambu Lab has not officially confirmed the product name or full specifications. However, the launch date is already set: April 14 at 10 AM EDT, when the company is expected to reveal all the details.
This event marks a key moment for Bambu Lab, which has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative players in the consumer and prosumer 3D printing space. The introduction of the X2D could further strengthen its position, offering a compelling mix of performance, smart features, and user-friendly design.
As the countdown continues, anticipation is building among enthusiasts and professionals alike, all eager to see whether the leaks will be confirmed-and how much of an impact this new printer will have on the market.
