The Bambu Laser is a 10W diode laser engraver with a 400×400mm work area. This page lists 66 community-tested settings covering speed, power, passes, air assist, and DPI across a range of materials. Always run a test cut on scrap material first — results vary depending on your material batch, focus, and ambient conditions.

The Bambu Lab Laser is an enclosed diode laser module designed for the Bambu Lab ecosystem, letting Bambu 3D printer owners add laser engraving capability via a quick module swap. It runs through Bambu Studio and supports wood, leather, cardboard, and light acrylic engraving. A natural choice for Bambu printer owners who want laser capability without a dedicated standalone machine. Not compatible with LightBurn — all work runs through Bambu Studio.
