Bambu Lab Unveils BambuStudio 2.0: A Smarter Slicer for Dual Extrusion and Streamlined Printing

Bambu Lab has rolled out a major update to its 3D printing software with the release of BambuStudio 2.0, promising a smoother, smarter, and more intuitive experience for makers—especially those using dual extrusion setups.

This new version arrives with a sharp focus on solving some of the everyday pain points that users encounter in the slicing process. One of the standout improvements is the revamped interface, which now makes it crystal clear whether you’re selecting a nozzle or a printer—a detail that previously tripped up even seasoned users. Now, the slicer helps prevent accidental misconfigurations by prompting you to switch presets when you’re working with project files that don’t match your current printer setup.

But the real game-changer comes in the form of enhanced dual extrusion support, built to take full advantage of Bambu Lab’s new H2D printer. Whether you’re juggling multi-material prints or simply trying to cut back on filament waste, BambuStudio 2.0 offers three smart modes to manage your filament setup:

• Filament-Saving Mode is designed to reduce waste by optimizing how materials are assigned, though it may require you to do a little manual reordering in your AMS setup.
• Convenience Mode prioritizes plug-and-play ease by sticking to the current AMS configuration, even if it means using a bit more filament.
• Custom Mode gives you total control, letting you map out filament slots however you see fit—ideal for those who want full flexibility during slicing.

Together, these upgrades mark a significant step forward in Bambu Lab’s ongoing mission to make 3D printing not just powerful, but approachable for everyone. Whether you’re a hobbyist printing with multiple colors or a pro working on complex models, BambuStudio 2.0 makes it easier to focus on the fun part—bringing your ideas to life.
