Bambu Lab AMS - Innovation of 3D printing technology
Make Multi-Color 3D Printing Real
Color, the ultimate expression of emotions, is brought to you by Bambu Lab's Automatic Material System (AMS). You can now enjoy printing freely in multiple colors and materials.
Multi-Material Printing
Applicable to most materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, PC, etc.
Hassle-Free Support Removal
With AMS, Bambu Lab printers can use snap-away support material or dissolvable filament to minimize the pain of removing supports.
No More Filament Leftover
Without AMS, when the filament runs out, manual spool replacement interrupts printing and results in wasted filaments.
With AMS, there is a seamless transition to a new spool which keeps uninterrupted printing and minimizes waste.
Filament Backup
Your print never stops with automatic spool changing. With AMS filament backup function, never worry about running out of filament during your sleep or absence, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted printing process, preventing any filament waste and promoting energy efficiency.
Advanced Intelligent System
Powered by a 32-bit MCU, sensor arrays, actuators, and a smart algorithm, the AMS has reached unprecedented levels of intelligence. It expertly manages filament loading and unloading, along with efficient fault detection and recovery.
For more detailed information please refer to AMS feeding system.
Filament Tangle Detection
When the filament at the toolhead encounters resistance, it may be that the filament is tangled or the spool is stuck, AMS can detect it immediately and suspend printing to avoid air printing.
For more detailed information please refer to filament entangled.
Say Goodbye to Wet Filaments
Filament that has absorbed moisture can lead to print quality issues and poor layer adhesion, or even nozzle clogging that can lead to a failed print.
Keep the Filament Dry
The AMS has an air-tight seal and with the help of dessicant material, it absorbs moisture to keep the moisture away from Filament.
A Humidity Sensor also detects the humidity inside the AMS and provides information to the user when the humidity is higher or the dessicant may need to be replaced.
For best print quality, dry filament is required.
Automatic Filament Identification
Bambu Lab filaments use RFID which is read by the AMS to automatically identify and apply the best settings for your material.
The RFID tag is synchronized automatically to Bambu Studio.
Non Bambu Lab Filaments need to be manually configured in Bambu Studio or in the printer.
Support Up to 16 Colors
Each Bambu Lab AMS is composed of 4 filament slots, and up to 4 AMS can be installed in parallel and supports up to 16 colors for stunning prints that truly stand out. To achieve 16-color printing, connect 4 AMS via AMS hub

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System)?
The Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System) enhances 3D printing by seamlessly enabling multi-colour and multi-material prints. It features automatic spool changes, filament backup, moisture control, and intelligent filament detection, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted printing. Supporting up to 16 colours, the AMS optimizes print quality by automatically identifying materials and intelligently managing loading and unloading processes.
What types of 3D printers is the AMS compatible with?
AMS (Automatic Material System) is primarily designed for use with Bambu Lab 3D printers. It enhances their capabilities by enabling multi-colour and multi-material printing. While it supports a variety of filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, and more, the AMS is tailored specifically for Bambu Lab's ecosystem to optimize functionality and performance.
Can the AMS handle large print jobs?
Yes, it is designed to handle large print jobs efficiently. Its automatic spool-changing feature ensures uninterrupted printing by switching to a new filament spool when one runs out. Besides this, the AMS supports multiple colours and materials, allowing for complex, lengthy projects without the need for manual intervention during printing.
Does the AMS require any maintenance?
The Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System) requires maintenance to some extent to ensure optimal performance. Regular checks should be made to the humidity sensor and desiccant materials to keep filaments dry. You should inspect the filament pathways for tangles or obstructions and clean the system if necessary to prevent issues during printing.
