In traditional single-nozzle muti-material printing, purging is needed to clear leftover material between filament changes. Vortek changes that with an intelligent hot-end swapping system that replaces the entire hotend - delivering faster, cleaner prints with minimal waste.

The Vortek system works seemlessly with the highly reliable AMS (Automatic Material System), making the entire filament changing process automatic, with no need to load each filament into the toolhead.

The Vortek system can store filament information in the hotend's memory, ensuring the correct filment is matched to each hotend. If you are printing with more than 7 filament types, the system can calculate the optimal combination to minimize purge waste.

Because only the hotend is swapped, the system can house 6 replaceable hotends without significantly reducing the build volume. That means more materials, more colors and more possibilities - all in one print.

Our industry-leading induction brings the nozzle to temperature in 8-seconds, significantly reducing the preheating time for each material swap compared to traditional methods.

Unlike traditional toolchanger printers that limit color count by the number of toolheads, the H2C supports up to 24 materials in a single print through parallel-connected AMS units. Its intelligent algorithym optimizes filament-to-hotend allocation to minimize purge waste while delivering outstanding multi-color and multi-material results.

With its seamless enclosure and adaptive airflow system, the H2C maintains a stable chamber temperature for high-performance materials and filters the air to keep your workspace clean and safe.

The inductive nozzle offset calibration is fully automated - no manual steps, no calibration plates, no extra setup. In just a few minutes the H2C precisely calibrates the nozzle offset by 25 microns.

The H2C's Vortek system lets you dedicate one of its 6 interchangeable hotends to specific filaments - a game changer for valuable engineering materials. This ensures superior consistency and reliability across prints. Each hotend can even automatically store filament information so the next time you load that material it is instantly matched to the correct hotend.

The PMSM servo extruder delivers up to 10kg of maximum extrusion force - 70% more than a stepper motor. It dramatically improves high-flow-rate extrusion stability. The proprietary servo architecture samples resistance and position at 20kHz and actively detects filament grinding and clogs in real time.

With its Vision Encoder, the H2C achieves a distance-independent motion accuracy of less than 50 μm—thinner than human hair. The system automatically compensates for any mechanical drift during calibration, ensuring consistent precision and peak performance over time.*

The H2C leverages both the servo motor on the extruder and the high-resolution eddy current sensors on the nozzle to sense extrusion dynamics. This enables precise extrusion control and automatic calibration of Pressure Advance (PA) parameters for each filament, resulting in smoother surfaces and cleaner, sharper edges.

The H2C's 65 °C actively heated chamber & 350°C nozzles minimize warping and deformation while enhancing layer adhesion for high-performance, high-temperature filaments.

The H2C features an AI-backed camera system. This intelligent monitoring system continuously tracks extrusion patterns, immediately detecting material accumulation, filament deviations, and extrusion failures. Also runs a pre-flight scan to ensure a safe start.
