Bambu Lab R1 55W CO2 Laser Engraver

From Wood and Clear Acrylic to Leather and Fabric

The R1 supports cutting and engraving on wood, acrylic (including clear acrylic), leather, fabric, and paper, as well as engraving on glass and coated metal surfaces.

You can use a variety of materials for lighting, decorations, fashion accessories, and custom pieces, highlighting the unique texture and feel of each.

Materials supported for cutting and engraving are not identical. Glass and coated metals are for engraving purposes only and cannot be cut. The device does not support direct engraving on untreated bare metal.

Cut Thick Plates in One Pass to Reduce Repetitive Processing

By using optional medium-focus or long-focus lenses, the manufacturer's demo shows that you can cut up to 18 mm black walnut plywood and 20 mm acrylic in a single pass. Different focal lengths can be selected based on material thickness and application.

According to manufacturer specifications, the short-focus lens has a maximum cutting capacity of 15 mm black walnut plywood / 20 mm acrylic. All wood thicknesses mentioned refer to plywood; actual results depend on material quality, lens choice, and processing parameters.

600 × 300 mm Standard Workspace

The R1 features a native 600 × 300 mm processing area, suitable for board cutting, decorative engraving, and batch production layout.

Optional Auto-Conveyor for Materials up to 3 Meters Long

By combining the Auto-Conveyor and Riser Base, the processing area can be extended to 600 × 3,000 mm. You can process long boards in sequence for floor lamps, tabletops, shelving, and furniture components.

Auto Laser Alignment

The CO₂ laser beam is transmitted to the processing position via mirrors. The R1 measures the beam with a Laser Alignment Sensor on the tool head, detecting and automatically correcting deviations to eliminate the need for manual test firing and repeated mirror adjustments.

According to the manufacturer, the calibration process is completed in under a minute, making routine beam maintenance much easier.

Coordinated Dual Cameras, Dual Lasers, and Dual Encoders

TriSense integrates workspace imagery, material surface height, and tool head positioning information to support pre-processing placement and auto-focusing. The manufacturer-stated positioning accuracy is less than 0.2 mm.

Vibration Compensation for Crisp Lines

When the tool head changes direction at high speeds, machine vibrations can affect line quality. The R1 uses vibration compensation technology to suppress artifacts and improve edge quality and detail in engravings.

Up to 1,000 mm/s with Speed-Synced Power

The R1 achieves a top processing speed of 1,000 mm/s and acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². Speed-Synced Laser Power adjusts output based on head movement speed to maintain consistent depth and tone.

Top speed does not imply all materials can be cut at this rate. Actual parameters must be set according to material type, thickness, design, and quality requirements.

Lid Open Protection, Flame Detection, and Emergency Stop

Opening the top lid causes the laser to stop immediately and remain disabled while open. Built-in sensors monitor for signs of fire, and the emergency stop button allows for an immediate power cut.

The Auto Fire Extinguishing System must be purchased separately to use this feature.

Optional Accessories for Every Need

The Riser Base provides space for tall workpieces and is required for the conveyor and rotary attachment. Medium/Long-focus lenses are available for thicker materials.

The Riser Base, Conveyor, Rotary Attachment, specialized lenses, Vision Encoder, E1 Pro, and fire extinguisher system are all sold separately. Please confirm your specific package and availability at purchase.
