Bambu Lab has opened its first Authorized Store in the Philippines at SM Megamall, giving Filipino consumers a dedicated space to explore desktop 3D printing.
Uni3DLab, one of Bambu Lab’s authorized distributors in the Philippines, operates the new store on the fourth floor of Cyberzone, Building B, SM Megamall.
The store brings together selected Bambu Lab 3D printers, filaments, accessories, finished prints, and product demonstrations. Visitors can watch printers in action, compare different models and configurations, and speak with the Uni3DLab team about their 3D printing needs.
The store welcomes experienced makers and first-time users. Students, families, hobbyists, designers, professionals, and small businesses can explore different applications for 3D printing, including prototyping, education, collectibles, personalization, home organization, and functional parts.
See 3D printing in action
The store features live product demonstrations that show how Bambu Lab printers turn digital models into physical objects.
Visitors can watch the printing process and get a closer look at the workflow behind desktop 3D printing. They can also examine finished creations that demonstrate different applications for the technology.
Customers can compare print sizes, machine formats, materials, and potential use cases before choosing a setup.
The store also gives visitors access to Bambu Lab’s broader ecosystem, including compatible filaments, accessories, and MakerWorld.
MakerWorld offers a library of printable 3D models and community-created projects. Users can browse designs and start printing without creating their own models from scratch.
Together, the printers, materials, software, and MakerWorld platform give users a connected workflow from finding an idea to producing a finished object.
