The Bambu Lab S1, the company's first 3D scanner from the maker of popular 3D printers, has been officially announced for a November 2026 launch.
What happened?
In an official post on X, Bambu Lab confirmed the S1 with the slogan “Create from your world. Start with a scan.” The announcement includes a visual teaser but still lacks full specs on accuracy, price or software.
FCC filings show a 60W handheld device, indicating a wired PC-connected design. Partnership with SCANOLOGY suggests blue laser and structured IR light technologies.
Why is this important?
3D scanners are used for game assets, reverse engineering and modeling. Bambu Lab's entry could make digitization more accessible for makers, competing with Creality and Revopoint.
What changes in practice?
Users will be able to scan real objects and integrate them into 3D printing workflows. The November timing may bring attractive Black Friday pricing. Final details still await official confirmation.
