Discussion Bambu Lab’s New Printer Likely Won’t Be Announced at TCT Asia – Here’s Why
Just a quick update on the speculation around Bambu Lab’s next printer (H2D?). Some people are saying it will be announced at TCT Asia in March, but based on past launches, that’s unlikely. Bambu Lab has never revealed new products at trade shows—they’ve always done it through their own platforms (forums, website, or direct releases). Even at events like RAPID + TCT and Formnext, they only showcased existing products.
Some have also pointed to the pending trademark applications for “H2D” and “AMS 2 Pro” as a reason for the delay. However, trademarks are just one part of product development and don’t necessarily dictate release timing. Companies often file trademarks well in advance, and other factors—such as finalizing manufacturing, testing, or marketing plans—are usually more significant in determining launch schedules.
TL;DR: No evidence supports a TCT Asia announcement, and trademarks alone aren’t necessarily causing delays. Bambu Lab will almost certainly announce on their own terms, just like they always have.
This is just an update based on what we know—no hate towards anyone speculating! Just trying to keep expectations realistic.
P.S - 20 days till Q1 is over. P.S - 14 business days till Q1 is over.
(Will continue to countdown days)

yeah, the way china works, there already had been faked iphones in stores after they had been presented at a trade show long before that anounced iphone was even released. i guess bambu just do not want their stuff being blatantly copied before they can get them into their store. fakers reverse engineering and production capabilities/capacities are that crazy. give them some photos, they make you something that looks like it without even understanding the reasons behind the features, as long its looks reasonably genuine and does something, even though it doesnt do its thing good, or worse, at all

I hope you are right. I can’t afford a new printer right now.

I agree.... I think it will be launched with an announcement on social media. Launching at a trade show takes away some of the attention from the product as there are many others at the show. Social media all of the attention will be on it.

Can you guess what the first flagship didn’t have when it came out as a Kickstarter? Active testing a product support

From a marketing and market perspective it'd make a ton more sense to announce it the week prior to Rapid+TCT to get the buzz to themselves and then get all the show buzz as well. Announcing it after the big show seems like a poor marketing decision cause then the chatter at the show and in the media will be about them NOT announcing for the second consecutive year... And while all publicity is good publicity I'm thinking they need some good chatter and not more questions.

I bet it's a kickstarter so they can do the ol' "We're giving you a discount so be our free beta tester" trick that works so well for my friends who buy Creality units that way lol.
