Spinning Innovation: How Bambu Lab’s AMS 2 Pro Weaves a New Era of Multi-Material 3D Printing

Apr 30, 2025

Just as a spider spins its web using silks of varying strength and elasticity, Bambu Lab’s Automatic Material System (AMS) brings that same biological ingenuity to 3D printing. In the natural world, few creations are as efficient and adaptable as a spider’s web. Spiders use multiple types of silk—each with distinct strength, elasticity, and purpose—to weave complex structures capable of capturing prey, protecting eggs, or enabling movement. In the world of 3D printing, Bambu Lab’s AMS mimics this brilliance by enabling seamless use of up to 24 different filament types or colors, making multi-material printing as natural and effortless as a spider spinning its web.

Why AMS Transforms Your Workflow

  • Effortless Material Switching
    No more pausing halfway through a print to swap filaments—AMS automatically feeds the right material at the right time.

  • Unmatched Design Freedom
    Combine rigid, flexible, dissolvable, and specialty filaments in one pass to create parts that were previously impossible.

  • Rock-Solid Reliability
    Advanced sensors and a filament buffer dramatically reduce jams and failed prints, even on marathon builds.

Who Benefits Most?

  • Educators & Students: Demonstrate real-world engineering and biology parallels with hands-on lessons.

  • Product Designers: Prototype multi-material assemblies—think living hinges, integrated seals, or color-coded components—without the headache.

  • Makers & Hobbyists: Add pops of color, texture, or function to your next creation without lifting a finger.
