Must-See Product Launches of 2025

Still undecided on a Christmas gift? Don’t panic, we have a solution for you. If you’re considering investing in a 3D printer or a 3D scanner, this list should be right up your alley. We took a closer look at the products released in 2025 and asked which launches truly stood out, both in the desktop 3D printer segment and among 3D scanning solutions. This year saw a wave of new releases, particularly in the FDM and resin categories, with machines that are relatively affordable and easy to use. With so many updates hitting the market, it can be difficult to tell whether there is real innovation at play or simply incremental improvements. That’s why we’ve selected five models, both printers and scanners, that are genuinely worth considering, all while keeping an accessible budget in mind. This list is not exhaustive, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments at the bottom of the article.

Bambu Lab H2 Series: Speed and modularity in focus

It’s hard to overlook Bambu Lab in this selection. The Chinese manufacturer made a strong impression in 2025 with a steady stream of new announcements. Rather than launching a single standout product, the company introduced an entire lineup: the H2 series. If you’ve been following the news, you’ll know that Bambu Lab has placed a strong emphasis on speed, whether with the H2S or the P1S. What truly stood out in 2025, however, was the H2D and the introduction of genuine modularity within the company’s ecosystem.

Let’s be honest: Bambu Lab didn’t invent modular 3D printing. Companies like Snapmaker have been offering 3-in-1 machines with CNC and laser modules for years. What Bambu did differently, however, is integration. The company developed a software workflow that makes it possible to move seamlessly from printing a template to laser-engraving a serial number. Almost overnight, users were able to swap a print head for a laser cutter or vinyl cutter in just a few seconds. The 3D printer effectively becomes a true fabrication hub, well suited to an office environment.
