Notes

1Requires the medium- or long-focus lens, sold separately; all references to wood refer to plywood.

2Based on image engraving at maximum speed and acceleration settings: R1 at 1,000 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s², compared with a typical CO₂ laser at its maximum settings.

3Riser base, Rotary, medium- and long-focus lenses, and Conveyor are sold separately.

*At launch, only Cylinder Processing is supported. Revolve Shape Processing will be added in a future firmware update.

TriSense System — What you mark is what you cut.

Cameras, lasers and encoders work together to place every cut exactly where you set it. Positioning accuracy <0.2mm; absolute motion accuracy <0.1mm @600mm.

TriSense System cameras, lasers and encoders diagram

1. BirdsEye Camera

Captures the full workspace.

BirdsEye Camera close-up hardware sensor

Where precision pays off.

Follows the curve

Height sensing follows every rise and fall on curved cups, spheres and uneven surfaces to keep engraving sharp.

Accurate on clear materials

Surface measurement stays accurate on transparent materials like glass and clear acrylic.

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 camera traces the edge automatically.

Bambu algorithms.

Vibration Compensation: Toolhead changing direction at full speed / Even tone: Engraving at 1000 mm/s with consistent depth

Auto Laser Alignment

Mount the Laser Alignment Sensor on the toolhead, it measures the beam, detects misalignment and corrects the optical path automatically in about one minute. No manual test shots.

Vibration Compensation

Cancels the split-second shake when the toolhead changes direction, keeping lines crisp right out of the turn.

Even tone at 1000mm/s

Compensates as it moves so engraving depth/tone stays consistent even at the max 1000mm/s speed.

Safer by design.

Safety certification: Class 1 laser (enclosed). Note: with the Riser Base or auto-feed Conveyor attached, the enclosure is no longer complete and the unit becomes a Class 4 device — CO2 laser-safety eyewear required, professional/trained use only.

Crossflow Ventilation

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.

E1 Pro (Air Purifier) E1 Pro: sold separately

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.

Lid-open stop

Open the lid and the laser stops immediately. Stays disabled while the lid is open.

Flame detection

Built-in sensors monitor for signs of flame and respond automatically when detected.

Emergency stop
