X1C stands for "X1 Carbon". X1 is the model line and C (Carbon) is a reference to the carbon fiber material used in its construction.
This is a fully enclosed 3D printer that allows you to print a wide range of materials, including ASA, ABS, Polycarbonate (PC) and Nylon (PA). Carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced materials are also supported. I strongly recommend using Bambu Lab filament as the spools have an integrated RFID tag which allows the machine to automatically detect the type and color of the filament loaded. This is not just convenient to help selecting the filaments while you're slicing but also to make sure the print settings are correct (speed & temperature). You can tweak everything manually if you want (or not using Bambu Lab filament), but if everything can work out of the box, why would you?
The AMS system allows you to print up to 4 different filaments in the same job. This means you can integrate different colors and materials into your print. This alone should allow you to take your prints to another level. The AMS (Automatic Material System) can be further extended to take 16 different filaments by connecting 4 AMS units together (you'll need this hub).
The new AMS2 PRO and AMS HT units, which have filament drying capabilities, are also compatible with the X1C. The HT unit is particularly interesting as it was made to print TPU, making it possible to integrate rubberized sections in our prints. This means that 3D printed parts with integrated rubber seals/gaskets are now a reality.
In summary, if you're looking for a high-performance 3D printer that helps you deliver value instead of spending time tweaking settings, this is it.
