When you think of Bambu Lab, there's a good chance their 3D printers spring to mind, for better or for worse. Well, it appears the company is entering a new scene: 3D scanning. The company has revealed the landing page for its new Bambu Lab S1 3D scanner, and you can sign up to hear more right now.
The Bambu Lab S1 3D scanner is making its debut
It's looking pretty sleek already
Over on X, Bambu Lab revealed their newest product, the S1 3D scanner. The company hasn't revealed much about it; we don't even know how much it will cost. All we know is that it's a 3D scanner, it's called the Bambu Lab S1, and something is happening sometime in November 2026.
If you're not sure what this has to do with 3D printing, a 3D scanner lets you scan an object in front of you and render it as a 3D model on your computer. Think of it like the scanners you find on printers, but with a Z-axis. 3D scanners find themselves in any line of work where remapping something on a computer, from a room to a simple object, is very important. 3D printer hobbyists love them because they let them 'grab' any item in front of them, import it onto their PC, and then print it out in resin.
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, head over to the Bambu Lab S1 3D scanner website and sign up to register your interest.
