Bambu Lab R1 55W CO₂ Laser Cutter & Engraver: Smart, Fast, and Fully Enclosed

The Bambu Lab R1 55W CO₂ Laser is a fast, camera-guided laser cutter and engraver made to get you from design to finished piece with very little setup. It has a 600 × 300 mm work area, a top speed of 1000 mm/s, and with the standard lens it cuts up to 20 mm acrylic and 15 mm black walnut plywood. Fully automatic autofocus, dual-camera positioning, and automatic material recognition mean less time calibrating and more time making. Used on its own, the R1 is a fully enclosed Class 1 laser with flame detection and built-in air assist, which makes it a strong fit for home studios, classrooms, and small businesses. When you're ready to grow, add the Riser Base, Automatic Conveyor Feeder, and Rotary Attachment for tall objects, long material, and 360° engraving.

Key Features 55W CO₂ Power With 1000 mm/s Speed The R1's 55W CO₂ laser moves at up to 1000 mm/s with 20,000 mm/s² acceleration, so engraving and cutting jobs finish quickly. With the standard short-focus lens, it cuts up to 20 mm acrylic and 15 mm black walnut plywood, and the optional medium and long-focus lenses raise wood cutting to 18 mm. It cuts and engraves wood, acrylic (including clear acrylic), leather, fabric, paper, EVA foam, and shell. It also engraves glass, ceramic, and coated metal. Smart Vision Positioning for Accurate Placement A dual-camera, dual-laser, and dual-encoder positioning system puts your design exactly where you want it. The BirdsEye overhead camera captures a panoramic view of the bed, and the toolhead camera handles close-up detail for positioning accuracy under 0.2 mm. Add the optional Vision Encoder and the R1 can hold absolute motion accuracy under 0.1 mm across 600 mm. Fully Automatic Setup The R1 handles the fiddly steps for you. Laser ranging and autofocus are fully automatic, laser alignment takes about a minute with the included Laser Alignment Sensor, and official Bambu Lab materials are recognized automatically so the right settings load with one tap. You can also process curved and cylindrical surfaces, so it's easy to get great results whether you're a first-time laser user or a seasoned pro. Enclosed Class 1 Safety With Built-In Air Assist Used standalone, the R1 is a fully enclosed Class 1 laser with a lid-open stop, flame detection, an emergency stop, and a safety key. Coolant temperature, water level, and flow are monitored, and built-in air assist (30 L/min at 30 kPa) keeps cuts cleaner and reduces flare-ups. A smoke ventilation fan and 2 m exhaust hose are included, and the E1 Pro purifier and Auto Fire Extinguishing System are available separately. Expandable for Tall, Long, and Round Projects The R1 grows with your business. The Riser Base raises the working height to 248 mm, the Automatic Conveyor Feeder pulls long stock through for pass-through work up to 610 mm wide and up to 3000 mm long with extension kits, and the Rotary Attachment engraves tumblers, bottles, and cups from 57 to 105 mm in diameter. All of these are sold separately. Once the Riser Base or Conveyor is installed, the setup is rated Class 4 and needs CO₂ laser safety eyewear. Frequently Asked Questions: What is the Bambu Lab R1?
