This page gives a quick overview of latest improvements. Helio is currently in Beta, and we’re continually rolling out new features, materials, and printer support to make your experience even better.
¶ ✨ New Features and Improvements
ℹ️ Full feature list on official beta release page here
- Fixed an issue where float values would not parse correctly when Bambu Studio UI language is set to a locale that uses a comma as a decimal separator (e.g., German, French, Italian). This caused errors when running Enhance.

¶ ✨ New Features and Improvements
- 5× faster Enhance runs via GPU acceleration — complex parts that previously took 10+ minutes now complete in under 2 minutes.
- Added three optimizer modes: Speed & Strength, Preserve Surface Finish, and Enhance Surface Gloss (optimized for silk and glossy filaments).
- Assess now provides actionable fix suggestions — specific parameter recommendations are shown when issues are detected.
- Enhance now supports multi-colour prints using the same material type via AMS.
- Expanded printer support to cover all Bambu Lab printers across the A-series, P-series, X-series, and H2D series.
- Added generic material fallback for filaments not yet in the Helio database.
- Added Helio History — view your last 10 runs, re-download previous optimized G-code, and recover results after interruptions.
- Renamed Simulation → Assess and Optimization → Enhance for clarity.
- Updated pricing to $9.99/month with unlimited Enhancements (fair-use) and a 2-week free trial.
¶ ✨ New Features and improvements
- Improved contact graph logic to support different layer heights between objects on the same plate or between objects and supports, fixing the occurrence of null values in the output.
- Improved handling for multi-material printing G-codes that caused optimisations to fail; these are temporarily unsupported and will report an error, but we are actively working on a solution.
- Fixed an issue where optimisation results were delayed when loading back into Bambu Studio, making optimisation times appear longer.
- Fixed an issue where optimisation quota updates were delayed in Bambu Studio after subscription activation
- Fixed an issue where free optimisations did not update correctly in Bambu Studio once new PAT was activated.
ℹ️ New users receive 3 free optimisations when they activate a PAT token.
