Bambu Lab previews S1 3D scanner ahead of November launch
Bambu Lab has teased the S1, its first 3D scanner, with a launch planned for November 2026. The company has not shared specifications, but FCC filings and a partnership with SCANOLOGY suggest possible shared technology. A 60W input rating and handle design have led to speculation about a screen and similarities to the 3DeVOK MT Gen2.
Bambu Lab has offered only a teaser for its S1 scanner, with a November 2026 release window. The company hasn't disclosed specs. Forum users spotted FCC documents showing a label and outline; the label lists 60W input. That figure has prompted comparisons to SCANOLOGY's 3DeVOK MT Gen2, a wired 2026 composite scanner using blue and IR lasers and also rated 60W.
The handle shape and flat area hint at a possible display. No battery indication suggests PC tethering. 3D scanning remains specialized, serving game assets, archaeology, prosthetics, museum archiving, and reverse engineering, with Creality, Revopoint, and SHINING3D among current suppliers.
If Bambu Lab brings a lower-cost, consumer-friendly scanner, hobbyists, small workshops, and creators could gain easier access to reverse engineering and digital archiving. A PC-tethered design may limit portability for field users such as archaeologists or museum archivists. Higher pricing, if shared with the 3DeVOK platform, could keep it out of reach for casual makers. The effect may depend on final specs, software, and price.
