What Bambu Lab is
Bambu Lab (拓竹) is a consumer tech company focusing on desktop 3D printers, as its official about page puts it, with operations in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Austin, Texas. According to Wikipedia, the company was founded in August 2020 by a team of former DJI engineers and is headquartered in Shenzhen.
Business and main product lines
Per the official site and the official wiki, the hardware lines are organized into series: the X series (such as X1C), P series (P1S, P2S), A series (A1, A1 Mini), and H2 series (H2D, H2S), plus the AMS multi-material system line, filaments, and accessories. Software includes the slicing and print-management tool Bambu Studio, the mobile Bambu Handy, Bambu Suite, and the fleet-oriented Farm Manager. The company also runs MakerWorld, a model-sharing platform, and hosts product documentation on the official wiki across printers, AMS, filament, and troubleshooting. Current models can be read from bambulab.com.
3D printing is the manufacturing step that turns digital models into physical objects, and Bambu Lab’s ecosystem covers the path from sourcing models, through slicing, to multi-material printing; desktop 3D printing in robotics-adjacent creation contexts (such as Microduck) belongs to the same maker space.
Discussion in the show
In Weekly #002’s chapter “从代码到实物：3D 打印带来的创作空间” (Chinese transcript), discussing AI combined with 3D printing, Guizang says that operating Bambu Lab’s software used to take some effort — loading filament, handling jams, removing supports — while now “you don’t need to deal with any of it; Computer Use, directly” — letting AI operate the software through print preparation (the paragraph). This is a host’s judgment on usability changes enabled by Computer Use, not an official statement. The same chapter also covers Microduck and the pace of embodied AI.
