VORTEK™ Hotend Change System
Print more. Waste less. The VORTEK Hotend Change System redefines multimaterial printing by intelligently managing up to six hotends to dramatically reduce purge waste while increasing speed and print quality. By storing filament data and calculating the most efficient hotend combinations, VORTEK minimizes purging – even across complex, multicolor jobs – so you get cleaner prints and greater material efficiency.
Unmatched Material Freedom
The H2C unlocks true multicolor and multimaterial printing without compromise. Intelligent hotend allocation removes traditional color limits, allowing you to print complex designs with exceptional reliability – no matter how many materials or colors your project demands.
Speed Without Sacrifice
Designed for professional performance, the H2C delivers rapid heating, precise control, and effortless setup. Industry-leading 8-second induction heating enables fast material swaps, while contactless connections and adaptive airflow maintain stable temperatures in a fully enclosed, clean workspace. Fully automated calibration ensures precision down to 25 microns – no tools, no guesswork.
Professional-Grade Precision and Reliability
Every detail of the H2C is engineered for consistent success. A high-force servo extruder, ultra-precise motion control, and intelligent calibration systems work together to produce smooth surfaces, sharp edges, and dependable results – even with demanding, high-performance filaments. AI-powered monitoring actively detects print issues before they become failures.
Built-In Safety and Smart Connectivity
Print with confidence in any environment. A multistage filtration system removes odors and fine particulates, while a flame-retardant enclosure adds passive fire protection. Flexible connectivity supports cloud control, offline operation, and advanced customization through Developer Mode – so the H2C fits seamlessly into any workflow.
