Bambu Lab R1
55W CO₂ Laser Cutter & Engraver
Bambu Lab R1 brings powerful CO₂ laser cutting and engraving into a streamlined desktop system. Designed for demanding creative and production workflows, it combines a 55W CO₂ laser, intelligent positioning, automatic optical-path alignment, high-speed motion control, and a spacious working area in one integrated machine.
Big Jobs. Light Work.
R1 is Bambu Lab’s dedicated CO₂ laser platform for cutting and engraving a broad range of materials. It is designed to reduce the manual setup traditionally associated with CO₂ laser machines while delivering the precision and automated workflow familiar from the Bambu Lab ecosystem.
One Laser. Many Materials.
The 55W CO₂ laser expands what can be produced on a desktop machine, supporting both cutting and detailed engraving across a wide range of materials.
Cut & Engrave
Wood, clear acrylic, leather, paper, fabric and other compatible materials.
Engrave
Glass, stone and coated metals expand the range of personalization and decorative applications.
Powerful Single-Pass Cutting
The 55W CO₂ laser is capable of cutting thick materials while reducing the need for repeated passes.
From Desktop Projects to Furniture-Scale Work
The standard 600 × 300 mm working area provides room for everyday cutting and engraving projects. With the optional Conveyor, R1 can process materials up to 3,000 mm long, opening the workflow to long panels and larger-scale projects.
TriSense Positioning System
R1 combines cameras, lasers and encoders to understand the workspace before processing begins. The system determines where the material is located, measures surface height and tracks toolhead movement.
Localization
Cameras and the Pinpoint laser help place designs precisely on the workpiece.
Surface Measurement
Laser distance measurement enables automatic focusing on flat or curved surfaces.
Motion Tracking
XY-axis encoders track toolhead movement in real time for accurate processing.
Automatic Laser Alignment
Traditional CO₂ laser alignment can require repeated test pulses and manual mirror adjustment. R1 automates this process. Its Laser Alignment Sensor measures the beam position, identifies optical-path deviation and uses motorized mirror actuators to correct the alignment automatically, with the process taking about one minute.
Fast Motion. Consistent Engraving.
Motion-control technologies adapted from Bambu Lab’s 3D printers help maintain sharp details and consistent engraving quality even during rapid toolhead movement.
Vibration Compensation
Suppresses mechanical resonance after direction changes to help keep engraved lines crisp and controlled.
Speed-Synced Laser Power
Laser power is adjusted according to movement speed to maintain a more consistent engraving tone at speeds up to 1000 mm/s.
Safety Built Into the System
In its standard fully enclosed configuration, R1 is classified as a Class 1 laser system under IEC 60825-1. Multiple integrated safety functions help protect the workspace during normal operation.
Note: installing accessories such as the Riser Base or Conveyor changes the enclosure configuration and requires the safety procedures specified by Bambu Lab.
Part of the Bambu Lab Ecosystem
R1 uses the same Bambu account and connects with the MakerWorld ecosystem. Projects and machine control are handled through Bambu Suite on Windows and macOS, bringing laser cutting and engraving into the familiar Bambu Lab workflow.
