Reports indicate that Bambu Lab, a prominent 3D printing manufacturer, is on the verge of finalizing a new round of financing, with tech giant Tencent joining as an investor. This move could potentially value the company at a staggering 10 billion US dollars. Earlier in July, Bambu Lab forged a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud, seamlessly integrating its platform with Tencent's cutting-edge Hunyuan 3D generation model. Some investors have hinted at possible future software-related collaborations between the two entities, although Bambu Lab has refuted these claims.
According to a research report published by Soochow Securities, Bambu Lab's revenue for the previous year is estimated to have ranged between 5.5 billion and 6 billion yuan, accompanied by a net profit nearing 2 billion yuan. Numerous media sources have reported that the company's shipments surpassed 1.2 million units, securing a 29% share of the global market. Industry experts within the 3D printing sector have lauded Bambu Lab for its remarkable track record, noting that the company has experienced virtually no significant setbacks since its inception. Furthermore, Bambu Lab has projected that over 70% of 3D printing farms worldwide are outfitted with its P1 series printers, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
