Bambu Lab Announces New Printer Series to Launch 2025 - 3Dnatives
Since its Kickstarter launch in 2022, Bambu Lab has been reshaping the 3D printing market, delivering easy-to-use, reliable, high-quality FDM desktop printers. Now hugely popular among consumers, the company has acquired several awards. In addition to this success, however, Bambu Lab has faced several issues. They recalled their popular A1 printer for safety concerns in February, and it was recently announced that the company was being sued for patent infringement by Stratasys. Despite the turmoil, Bambu Lab has just announced the launch of their highly anticipated new printer series, set to release in early 2025.
The new printer series was rumored to be released in September 2024, but according to news from Bambu Lab, the company is taking time to ensure the quality of its product. The printer series apparently will be a cut above their X1 printer, which features 16 multicolor options, AI-powered features, and high-quality printing with 7 μm Lidar Resolution. With this new series, Bambu Lab aims to deliver top-tier performance for 3D printing prosumers. The product will integrate several new features that will meet their requirements for high quality. According to their press statement, they’re “not cutting any corners.”

We do not know explicit details about the new printer series, except that it will be larger than their previous models. When questioned in an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit if the new printer series would be bigger than their X1C printer, Bambu Lab responded, “We’re working on it.” Their X1E printer, designed for professional and engineering applications, may inspire some of the new printer’s features. It offers connection to devices through ethernet, off-cloud operation, a heated chamber, vibration compensation and more, so we may see these features in the new series.
What we do know, however, is Bambu Lab’s vision for their new product. Dr. Tao, CEO and Co-Founder at Bambu Lab puts it this way: “We’re building something that’s going to push the boundaries of what’s possible in consumer 3D printing. This extra time ensures we deliver on that promise, with a product that’s fully ready and supported worldwide.” Bambu Lab clarified that they not only intend to perfect their new printer series by the release date, but ensure sufficient stock, spare parts, and robust logistics are in place everywhere.
