Bambu Lab Vision Encoder – Accuracy at a new level

Take your 3D printing accuracy to the next level with the Bambu Lab Vision Encoder. This advanced calibration tool improves motion accuracy to under 50 μm, compensating for natural mechanical variation and long-term machine wear. The calibration is distance independent, ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of model size, with its effect becoming even more noticeable on larger prints.

Combined with exclusive features in Bambu Studio, such as Auto Hole-Contour Compensation, Vision Encoder enables injection molding level assemblies for parts printed with Bambu Lab H2D. Design, print and install – it’s that easy.

Movement accuracy below 50 μm – Compensation of unavoidable inaccuracies

Even the most precise 3D printer can’t avoid mechanical inaccuracies – but the Bambu Lab Vision Encoder ensures they will never affect the quality of your prints. Thanks to a matrix of 10⁴ Encode markers and optical measurements with 5 μm resolution, this advanced XY-axis calibration solution delivers motion accuracy to within 50 μm – thinner than a human hair.

The Vision Encoder doesn’t just compensate for built-in mechanical deviations, it’s designed to adapt over time, correcting for issues like belt slack and mechanical wear to maintain accuracy throughout your journey with Bambu Lab H2D.

Achieve injection moulding level quality

Enhanced with Bambu Studio’s exclusive Auto Hole-Contour Compensation feature, a temperature-controlled camera and pre-set filament parameters, Bambu Lab H2D with Vision Encoder goes beyond standard desktop 3D printing, delivering machining-like accuracy and injection molding-like quality. Forget complex setups and lengthy post-processing – assemble components seamlessly and optimize your workflow like never before.

5-minute calibration for weeks of precision printing

Insert, calibrate and start. Just a quick 5-minute calibration guarantees weeks of effortless ultra-precise printing. Minutes of setup compensate for wear and tear over time – keeping your prints accurate and your workflow smooth. Absolutely worth it!

Tips for use

1. Changes in machine characteristics
Over time, as a result of the way of operation and the influence of the environment, the characteristics of the machine inevitably change. This is manifested by:

• fluctuations in ambient temperature
• micro-deformations in the structure due to vibration or displacement
• stress relaxation in hull materials

As a result, the calibration efficiency gradually decreases. The rate of this deterioration is directly related to the severity of the medium and the intensity of use. For applications requiring high precision, we recommend a two-week calibration cycle to maintain measurement accuracy.

2. Limitations of Use
Bambu Lab Vision Encoder is to be used for motion accuracy calibration only and should not be used as a printing platform. After calibration is complete, please remove and store the Vision Encoder properly.

3. Preparation before calibration with Bambu Lab Vision Encoder

• Remove the clear protective film from the surface of the Vision Encoder before use.
• Make sure the print head camera is working properly and there are no HMS errors (e.g. dirty lens).
• Clean the heating bed of any debris.
• Make sure the Vision Encoder surface is clean and all grid patterns are clearly visible.
• Before calibration, allow the heating bed to cool to room temperature. Avoid placing the Vision Encoder on a hot bed to prevent errors caused by thermal expansion.
