TOKYO, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bambu Lab, a global leader in high-performance 3D printing, has officially introduced the H2C, a new flagship desktop 3D printer designed to bring fast, precise, and reliable multi-material printing to professional and creative users.

The H2C debuts Bambu Lab’s innovative Vortek Multi-Material System, which integrates high-speed printing, engineering-grade accuracy, and seamless material switching into a compact desktop platform. Unlike traditional single nozzle multi-material units. The Vortek Hotend Change system enables the use of up to six interchangeable, contactless connected hotends. Tool changes take only a few seconds, with virtually no user involvement.

Thanks to the Vortek system, the H2C can print with up to seven colors or materials in a single job, without purge-cleaning of the nozzles. Each of the six hotends can be assigned to a specific filament.

Performance is a key strength of the H2C. The printer supports print speeds of up to 600 mm/s and acceleration up to 20,000 mm/s², continuing Bambu Lab’s reputation for high-speed innovation. Combined with a fully enclosed, actively temperature-controlled chamber and intelligent airflow management, the H2C maintains dimensional accuracy and surface quality even at high speeds. From functional prototypes and industrial fixtures to creative and educational models, users can complete high-quality prints in significantly less time.

The H2C is also designed to deliver a more accessible and user-friendly experience. Automatic calibration, intelligent vibration compensation, and cloud-based slicing and job management reduce setup complexity and lower the learning curve for new users. Despite its advanced capabilities, the printer’s footprint is compact compared to previous industrial multi-material solutions, making it well-suited for laboratories, classrooms, design studios, and small workspaces.

According to Bambu Lab, the H2C represents a shift in how multi-material 3D printing is approached. Rather than adding complexity, the system focuses on making advanced capabilities work seamlessly in the background, allowing users to concentrate on design and creativity instead of operation.

With the launch of the H2C, Bambu Lab continues its mission to make high-performance 3D printing faster, more reliable, and easier to use. The new printer empowers engineers, designers, makers, and educators to explore multi-material applications with greater confidence and efficiency.

Kat Florence, who grew up in Canada’s famously beautiful village of Elora where her retreat resides, invested millions to personally restore the historic 1848 limestone building to its immaculate, present-day aura. “I approach a space the same way I approach a rare gemstone,” says Florence. “Its history and composition tell you what it wants to become. My role is to honour that story and elevate it. Our elaborate guest gifts and amenities also directly reflect the space, as well as our ethos of being a true home away from home. We’re thrilled to launch the next chapter of the hotel with even more signature, always included layers of wellness, nature, Michelin-level nourishment, and the most luxurious self-care elixir on earth (La Mer).”

Officially launching this month, the hotel debuts its private, guest-only Nordic Wellness Spa, a secluded plein air sanctuary within its hidden outdoor space. Steps from each suite, this intimate wellness garden features a hand-crafted cedar sauna, open-air hot pool, a restorative cold-plunge circuit for contrast therapy and a firepit lounge area; all supported by discreet, on-demand drink and snack service. Elemental, calming, and meticulously scaled, the spa is a sensorial extension of Florence’s design philosophy: purity, balance, and craftsmanship at every turn.

To further complement their already much loved, daily 60 minute full-body massages for all staying guests, delivered in the privacy of their suite by expert in-house RMTs, Kat’s daily ritual will soon be incorporating her personal favourite self-care product. From January, massages will be enhanced with a La Mer the renewal oil–infused face, neck, and décolleté finishing ritual (the La Mer elixir which famously retails for $395 per mini 30ml ounce bottle). The treatment also incorporates sound bath therapy and the Nordic practice of steam and ice, alternating warm and cool towel compresses to awaken the senses and create a harmony of temperature, grounding guests in the moment.

Adding to the hotel’s sensory and wellness offerings, December 18 also marks the debut of the Kat Florence Hotel’s new infinity-style Patisserie, a private, guest-only experience of daily edible art creations led by Chef Marc Collyer. The bakes and bonbons collection will be crafted using the most expensive ingredients on earth. While the collection will change every day, guests can expect delights like ‘mille feuille of housemade caramelized puff pastry, green apple caviar and hazelnut creme,’ ‘Caramelized white chocolate eclair with Amarena cherry mousse and burnt orange & Champagne powder,’ and signature house croissants Chef ferments for 3 full days prior to baking resulting in magnificently deepened flavours. Prior to collaborating with Kat, Marc spent 14 years honing his culinary distinction and imaginative flair at twice Michelin-starred Manor House in the British Cotswolds. Now innovating fine dolce delights at the Elora retreat, his guests are encouraged to visit in limitless tasting fashion throughout their stays (all at no charge; Chef’s high design cakes, chocolates and pastries are included for guests). In addition, each morning Chef Marc hand-churns his own butter and fresh bakes pastries, breads and more, sending energizing creations to be personal concierge-delivered to each suite as part of the hotel’s bespoke breakfast service. His patisserie program now forms an essential pillar of the property’s culinary identity, blending technique, artistry, and an intimate, at-your-leisure approach to Michelin heights indulgence.

Reflecting Florence’s celebrated eye for rarity and refinement, the hotel remains intentionally exclusive, welcoming a maximum of only 14 guests at any time and offering an unprecedented 2:1 staff-to-guest ratio; one of the highest in North America versus a luxury hotel average of 10:1. The result is a sanctuary of calm and privacy, with made-to-measure service for every stay.

Every booking at the Kat Florence Hotel includes her famous roster of signature high end gifts, services and experiences, all crafted to feel effortless and personal:

In the area of climate change, to realise a zero-carbon society, Ricoh aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations by 63% (Scope 1, 2) and to achieve a 40% reduction in GHG emissions in the supply chain, covering procurement, transportation and product use (Scope 3), by 2030 compared with 2015 levels. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as 1.5°C-aligned. In addition to its internal efforts, Ricoh conducts supplier briefing sessions and encourages key suppliers to set medium- to long-term GHG reduction targets. The company has also set a goal of sourcing 100% renewable electricity for its operations by 2040 and is actively introducing renewable energy sources with high additionality.

In the 2025 assessment, CDP highlighted Ricoh’s improved disclosure of Scope 3 emissions and its proactive engagement in public policy, demonstrating transparency and social leadership across the value chain.

In the area of water security, Ricoh promotes the effective use of water resources to realise a circular economy. Under its water stewardship policy, the company sets targets to reduce total water withdrawals year-over-year and is working across its global operations to reduce water consumption.

This year’s recognition reflects global acknowledgement of our efforts in decarbonisation and resource circulation. In particular, the assessment recognised our progress in Scope 3 emissions disclosure and enhanced transparency regarding water-related risks and opportunities. We will continue working with stakeholders to further accelerate initiatives that contribute to realising a sustainable society through our business activities.”

In 2025, Ricoh released the Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 2025, which outlines its policies, strategies, initiatives and performance across its ESG strategy, environmental areas including climate change, resource circulation, pollution prevention and biodiversity conservation, as well as human rights.
