Hopefully soon. Send them an email asking. I did about a month ago and they said they would let the developers know it’s an interest. The more people that email and show they are interested, the more the developers will take it serious. The more we knock on their door, the more the chance they will answer.

The “use an iPad as an extra display” feature has been in macOS and iPadOS for a couple of years now, so if you use Apple products there is nothing you need to buy and install.

@asp_digital does this retain touch screen ability’s? Or does it simply just turn it into another display and you still have to use the mouse and keyboard?
yes please, yes please, we soooooo need the Bambu Studio as a native iPad app

I just purchased the A1 combo and only have an iPad. Is there any way to model simple parts then print my designs on the A1 without using a PC?

Throwing my vote in. Switched to IpadPro because I don’t need a PC/MAC for most of my usage. Don’t want to go back because I want to make minor modifications to a file.

Hello,
I am a newbie and would like to order the Bambu Lab P1S Combo 3D printer, but I encountered the following problem:
I only have a company laptop and it´s not allowed to install Bambu Studio and I don’t want to buy a laptop just for slicing. Is there an app that I can use on my iPad to slice or is there an online version of Bambu Lab that I can use?

It would be so nice to design on iPad and then print off on the Bambu. I’m actually shocked we can’t do this now

+1 for Bambu for iPad.
Just bought my X1C 2 weeks ago, my girlfriend bought her own X1C also 1 week ago, she currently owns a iPad Mini 2020 and she would also love to use Bambu Studio on her iPad and I just ordered an iPad Pro 2024 just to be able to CAD on a tablet and I’d also love to have the Bambu Studio on iPad so I wouldn’t need to open Mac just for slicing/painting/printing.
I don’t need Bambu Studio. I just need a workflow using only the iPad where I can export from Shapr3D on STL, STEP or 3MF and send it directly to the printer (selecting just colors and minor stuff).

You DO need Studio, or another slicer, to produce g-code. The file types you mention only describe the model, using a language not understood by the printer. The slicer translates the model into the g-code which tells the printer what to do.

I know what you mean but I don’t need full fledged studio. Just need a slicer, preview and print. For simple jobs, tests. Defaults are perfectly fine

here isn’t currently an iPad version of Bambu Studio and there haven’t been official announcements about one being developed.
- Resource intensive: Porting Bambu Studio, which is based on PrusaSlicer, to iPadOS requires significant work for a potentially small user base.
- Limited iPad 3D printing ecosystem: While there are 3D modeling apps for iPad like Shapr3D, slicer apps are less common.
To that end, I think a SaaS based (cloud) version of Bambu Studio would be a better bang for their development buck - something integrated to Makerworld even. An HTML5 front end and some adaptive resolution decisions as a progressive web app would give them a lite GUI slicer available on all platforms, not just the iPad walled garden. They already have some cloud slicer as a service to support the Makerworld cloud print functions - it seems like a logical next step to provide a user facing front end to it next.

This would be awesome, M series iPads theoretically would be an easy port.
hi can you elaborate what and how ??
