On October 27, consumer 3D printing leader Bambu Lab unveiled its first handheld 3D scanner, the S1, scheduled for launch in November. It marks Bambu Lab's entry into 3D scanning hardware.
Public specifications remain limited; the company has released an image, with details yet to be fully disclosed. The move extends Bambu Lab's portfolio from 3D printers into scanning, pursuing a fuller "scan–design–print" chain.
Consumer 3D scanning has grown alongside 3D printing adoption, serving reverse modeling, custom design, and model creation. Bambu Lab's entry will directly reshape the consumer scanner market. Its performance, pricing, and integration with Bambu's printing ecosystem will be the focus before launch.
