Atomic Layer of the Day:
Hey, sorry for writing about the same thing for the third day in a row, but no matter how you look at it, Bambu Lab has been shaping the 3D printing market for three straight years now, even if its domain is strictly the desktop sector.
Yesterday and the day before, I shared leaks about what the new H2D will look like and how the competition isn’t asleep—soon, it might emerge in a new, ominous form for Bambu Lab.
Meanwhile, today, the Chinese manufacturer officially announced that in one week—on Tuesday, March 25, at 03:00 PM CET—it will unveil the next generation of 3D printers.
They even created a stylish steampunk-like graphic, which, by the way, confirms the rumors about dual print heads.
But that’s not all… On a specially created landing page, where you can sign up for the digital reveal, they’ve introduced a progressive reveal system for new details. Over the next few days—March 18, 20, 22, 23, and 24—a new image or teaser will be revealed, giving us more clues.
Cool, interesting—we’ll see how it plays out.
Also today—and trust me, this was truly unexpected—Cedric Mallet, CEO of Bambu Lab Europe, announced that on the launch day, he will visit Poland and attend Dni Druku 3D, the AM trade fair in the city of Kielce.
Now, make no mistake—back in the day, this event was freaking huge! It was absolutely one of the biggest AM events in all of Europe (obviously much smaller than Formnext, but still significant). Unfortunately, the pandemic hit it hard. Since 2020, it’s only a shadow of its former self…
I was deeply involved with Dni Druku 3D from the very beginning (I even received two beautiful awards for promoting it), but today, it’s just a small local event.
So the news that the European CEO of one of the world's biggest 3D printing companies is coming to Poland on the day of the biggest product launch in the company’s history was shocking. So, I decided to meet Cedric next week and ask him about it just for you!
And if the new 3D printer happens to be there, I won’t miss the chance to share a photo report! (If it actually appears?)
So, if you’re even remotely interested in this topic, in one week, everything will be clear.
PS: I’ll try to write about something other than Bambu Lab tomorrow 😆

News & Gossip:
Now this is going to sound really crazy… Today in Shanghai, TCT Asia 2025 kicked off, showcasing the latest advancements in additive manufacturing. Farsoon Technologies unveiled the FS1521M-U, an upgraded version of its FS1521M metal 3D printer, featuring 32 × 500W fiber lasers.
Yes, 32!
This innovation, first introduced in 2023, doubles the laser capacity, offering increased speed and cost-efficiency for producing large metal parts. The FS1521M-U boasts a massive build volume of 1530mm × 1530mm × 1650mm (3,862 liters), catering to the growing demand for large-scale metal 3D printing. This follows the trend of Chinese companies, like Eplus3D, pushing the limits with multi-laser systems. Farsoon also recently launched the compact FS191M for smaller-scale projects.Mantle has launched a software update boosting production throughput by up to 20% and improving surface finishes on downfacing surfaces, reducing post-processing needs.
CEAD Group, a LFAM company, partnered with Polymaker, a leading 3D printing materials provider, to expand material options for its platforms. This collaboration aims to validate Polymaker’s materials, including PolyCore PETG and ABS, for CEAD systems.
