- Release is planned for November 2026.
- FCC filings show a 60W power input.
- Potential shared technology with SCANOLOGY.
Bambu Lab Enters 3D Scanning Market
Bambu Lab has officially teased its S1 3D scanner, indicating its entry into the 3D scanning product category. The company plans to release the S1 in November 2026. This announcement expands Bambu Lab's product offerings beyond 3D printers.
Limited Details and Speculation
Official details regarding the S1's specifications and features have not yet been released. However, FCC filings for the device show a label and drawing of the scanner. These filings indicate a 60W-rated input for the S1.
Speculation in online forums suggests a potential technological link between the S1 and SCANOLOGY's 3DeVOK MT Gen2, a wired composite 3D scanner released in 2026. The 3DeVOK MT Gen2 also has a 60W input rating and utilizes both blue and IR lasers. While the matching power input does not confirm shared technology, it offers a hint about potential capabilities, such as the number of lasers or the inclusion of a screen.
Implications of Power and Design
The 60W rating, coupled with no indication of a battery in the FCC filings, suggests the S1 may require a PC for operation. This could be a consideration for users, as it necessitates either a powerful laptop for mobile scanning or a long USB cable for desktop use. The FCC drawings also show a flat spot and a handle top, which could indicate the presence of a screen, similar to the 3DeVOK MT Gen2.
The 3DeVOK MT Gen2 is priced at $8,299. If Bambu Lab aims for consumer-friendly pricing, a direct platform share with such a high-priced device might be unlikely.
The Niche of 3D Scanning
3D scanning is a specialized field with applications across various industries, including game asset creation, archaeology, prosthetics, and museum archiving. The growth of 3D printing has generated a demand for reverse engineering of parts, further contributing to this niche market. Current competitors in the 3D scanner market include Creality with its CR-Scan line, Revopoint's Pop series and MIRACO, and SHINING3D’s Einstar.
