Brand's spool tags (NFC) Whether its multi-material unit can recognise any filament Open: tags for any filament SimplyPrint reads QIDI's spool tags and writes them for any filament, so every brand works like QIDI's own. How it works Closed: the maker's own spools Bambu Lab's tags are encrypted: only Bambu Lab's own spools are recognised automatically. SimplyPrint reads them through the printer. How it works
