55W CO2. Cuts deeper. Cuts more.
Cut and engrave wood, clear acrylic, leather, and more, with materials up to 20 mm¹ thick in a single pass.
No manual calibration.
No thermal paper. No test shots. No manual tuning. R1 aligns the optical path automatically — a first for a laser cutter.
What you mark is what you cut.
Cameras, lasers, and encoders work together to place every cut exactly where you set it.
Fast, without losing detail.
Reach speeds up to 1000 mm/s and finish jobs nearly 3× faster, while keeping fine details sharp.²
Taller. Rounder. Longer. Thicker.
Add risers for taller pieces, a rotary for round objects, longer-focus lenses for thicker stock, and a conveyor³ for boards up to 3 meters long.
Smoke cleared across the work area.
Crossflow ventilation drives air directly through the chamber, clearing smoke quickly and evenly from the work area.
Warm wood. Crystal-clear acrylic. Textured cork.

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.

Thick cuts with one pass.
The 55W CO₂ laser cuts up to 18 mm black walnut plywood 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.
Where precision pays off.
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
Stays accurate on clear materials.
R1 keeps surface measurement accurate even on transparent materials like glass and clear acrylic, so engraving stays precisely placed.
Finds the tiny stuff.
The Toolhead Camera pinpoints small objects and places fine detail exactly where you want it.
Traces 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.
The same motion control and intelligent algorithms behind Bambu Lab printers now power R1 — bringing faster movement, finer detail, and more precise cuts.
Crisp lines, even after the turn.
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
Stays accurate over time.
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.
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.
Drop in the material. Skip the settings.
R1 recognizes Bambu Lab material automatically and applies the right power and speed, so you can skip test grids and manual parameter setup.
Crossflow ventilation, from corner to corner.
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.
Air sweeps continuously across the work area toward the exhaust, reducing dead zones where smoke can collect and helping keep the chamber clear as you cut.
E1 Pro Air Purifier. Cleaner air, back in the room.
Built for R1, E1 Pro⁶ connects directly to R1's exhaust outlet and pulls smoke out at the source. Multiple filter layers, with activated carbon, catch smoke and fine particles and reduce odors.
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
Multiple layers of protection.
Laser work means heat. R1 layers multiple safeguards around every job, detecting potential issues early and responding quickly when needed.
Open the lid and the laser stops immediately. It stays disabled while the lid is open.
Part of the Bambu Experience.
Same MakerWorld. Same Bambu account. Same familiar workflow. R1 fits right into the Bambu ecosystem, so there's less to learn and more you can start making right away.
Same work area. Smaller footprint.
R1 delivers the same working area as a typical CO₂ laser while taking up about a third less space.⁹
Go taller. Rounder. Longer. Thicker.
Add the setup you need for taller objects, round pieces, thicker stock, and extra-long boards.³
Riser Base
Raises R1 to create clearance for taller objects. Also required for the Conveyor and Rotary.
Conveyor
Automatically feeds long stock through R1, letting you cut and engrave boards up to 3 meters long.
Rotary Attachment
Rotates round objects for full 360° engraving on bottles, bowls, cups, and more. Requires the Riser Base.
Focus lenses (Medium / Long)
Greater depth of focus for cleaner cuts through thicker materials — up to 20 mm with the long-focus lens.
Bambu Lab R1
Big job. Light work.
