Features
Helio Additive Update
This beta upgrades the Helio integration with major performance improvements, clearer results and guidance, expanded compatibility handling, and improved reliability of workflows.
- Product & Pricing updates (Alpha → Beta):
- Helio moves from Alpha to Beta with simplified pricing and practically unlimited Assess/Enhance under fair use. The quota/token system has been deprecated.
- 2-week free trial with full access for new users.
- Product naming is now clearer:
- Assess (formerly Simulation): predict where a print may fail before you print.
- Enhance (formerly Optimization): autofix with new speeds; automatically optimizes for speed/strength/reliability/surface gloss.
- Improved activation flow.
- Performance Improvements: Helio now runs with GPU acceleration for both Assess and Enhance, runtimes are reduced compared to previous versions (up to ~5× faster in supported scenarios).
- Compatibility Handling & Safeguards:
- Multi-material detection: Jobs containing multiple materials are now explicitly detected, with guidance provided to help users proceed safely.
- Unsupported material handling: When an unsupported material is detected, users are prompted to:
- Select reference material for simulation, or
- Switch to a supported material profile. Silent mismatches are no longer allowed.
- Improved matching for custom materials and printers:
- Token-based fuzzy matching is used to identify the closest supported profiles.
- Material-type fallbacks and confirmation prompts have been added.

|
- Clearer and More Actionable Results: Assess results now more clearly explain why an issue is likely to occur, and which parameters or settings contribute to the risk.
- Fix suggestions are easier to locate and follow.
- The printability report has been refined to reduce ambiguity.
- Assessment guidance is more directly tied to concrete outcomes, such as improving reliability, reducing failure risk and increasing print speed.
|
- Added Helio History:
- View up to the last 10 Assess and Enhance runs.
- Revisit previous results and download generated G-code for comparison.
- Recent results can be recovered in case of network interruptions.

|
- Reliability Improvements & Bug Fixes:
- Improved error detection during G-code polling.
- Backend error messages are now surfaced directly in failure dialogs, providing clearer diagnostics.
📌 Availability & Limitations:
- Helio is available on all Bambu Lab printers except H2C, based on current support status.
- For supported printers and materials, see
https://wiki.helioadditive.com/en/supportedprinters for more details.
Bug fixed
- Fixed an issue where enabling the prime tower outer-wall gap（"Process"-"Prime Tower"-"Skip points"） could cause missing outer walls in some scenarios.
- Fixed a conflict issue related to the user program under the web directory, thanks to @Bambu-Pomfret .
- Beta update notification was enabled by default since this beta, which can be disabled in Preferences.
- Fixed an issue where the top surface flow ratio in object settings could reset after re-selecting the object. (#9563)
