Why Choose Bambu Lab R1
CO₂ laser. Wood to glass. Tabletop decor to furniture.
A 55W CO₂ laser with Bambu Lab's proven motion control, making laser work faster, finer, and easier.
Thick cuts with one pass
The 55W CO₂ laser cuts up to 18 mm walnut and 20 mm acrylic¹ in a single pass — fast, clean, and without the extra passes that slow you down.
Go furniture scale
With the auto-feed conveyor³, R1 handles material up to 3 meters long. Pass-through feeding and deep cutting turn full-length panels into tables, shelving and furniture.
Bring out the best in every material.
Powered by a 55W CO₂ laser, R1 works across a wide range of materials — from wood and acrylic to glass, leather, fabric, and more — each bringing its own character to the piece.
What you mark is what you cut.
Trisense System
Drop in your workpiece — crooked, curved, or tiny. R1 locates it, reads the surface, and tracks every move as it works, so every line lands exactly where you set it. This is TriSense. What you mark is what you cut.
Follows the curve
From curved cups and spheres to uneven surfaces. Height sensing follows every rise and fall to keep the engraving sharp and consistent across the entire surface.⁴
Accurate on clear materials
R1 keeps surface measurement accurate even on transparent materials like glass and clear acrylic, so engraving stays precisely placed.
Find the tiny stuff
The Toolhead Camera pinpoints small objects and places fine detail exactly where you want it.
Trace the line
Cut around a printed design, trim a sticker, or follow a drawn outline. The Toolhead Camera traces the edge and keeps the cut precisely on path.
The motion control that keeps our printers precise. Now in R1.
Vibration Compensation
When the toolhead changes direction, a split-second shake can ripple the line that follows. R1's vibration compensation cancels it out, keeping lines crisp right out of the turn — the same technology as in our 3D printers.
Even tone at 1000mm/s
Higher speeds usually mean shallower engraving. R1 compensates as it moves, keeping engraving depth consistent at up to 1,000 mm/s — while completing the same job nearly 3× as fast.²
Vision Encoder
Mechanical accuracy can drift with use. The Vision Encoder⁵ corrects for it, keeping absolute motion accuracy within 0.1 mm across the full work area. Draw 300 mm. Cut 300 mm.
Tricky setup? Solved.
Auto Laser Alignment
Usually, aligning the optical path meant test shots, manual adjustments, and trial and error — with no telling how long it might take. With R1, that chore comes down to one small sensor. Mount the Laser Alignment Sensor on the toolhead, and it measures the beam, detects the misalignment, and corrects the path automatically, in just one minute.
Follow it on the screen
R1 puts a touchscreen right on the machine. Follow every job in real time, watch the optical path calibrate, and check the machine's health status — all without a computer.
Material Recognized
R1 recognizes Bambu Lab material automatically and applies the right power and speed, so you can skip test grids and manual parameter setup.
Safer by design. Made for everyday spaces.
Crossflow Ventilation
Most lasers rely on a single exhaust fan. R1 brings fresh air in from one side and exhausts smoke from the other, creating a steady crossflow through the entire chamber.
Class 1 laser safety
R1 is Class 1 under IEC 60825-1 in standard enclosed use. Laser radiation stays contained inside the enclosure, so no safety goggles or dedicated laser room are needed.⁷
Lid open stop
Open the lid and the laser stops immediately. It stays disabled while the lid is open.
Flame Detection
Built-in sensors continuously watch for signs of flame and respond as soon as one is detected.
Emergency stop
One press cuts power to the machine immediately.
Same work area. Smaller footprint.
R1 delivers the same working area as a typical CO₂ laser while taking up about a third less space.⁸
