Bambu Lab (Chinese: 拓竹; pinyin: Tuò zhú) is a consumer tech company that designs and manufactures desktop 3D printers. The company is based in Shenzhen, China, with locations in Shanghai and Austin, Texas.[1] It was founded in 2020 by a team of engineers from DJI.[2]

Bambu Lab's first product, the Bambu Lab X1, is a desktop 3D printer that launched on Kickstarter in 2022. The campaign raised $7 million, making it one of the most successful 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns of all time.[3][4]

Products[edit]

The company manufactures 3D printers, filament, and accessories for personal, commercial, and educational use. The main printers are:

  • A1 - a Prusa i3 style printer for personal use with multi-color printing via an Automatic Material System (AMS)[5]. The printer was recalled in February 2024 due to safety concerns.[6]
    • A1 Mini - a smaller version of the A1, for beginners printing small objects
  • P1S - a closed-case CoreXY printer with advanced features for professionals
    • P1P - a cheaper, open-case version of the P1S
  • X1 - an advanced CoreXY printer with high-end features, including a bulit-in lidar scanner, for professionals and commercial use[7]
