Bambu Lab P3C: a new model appears in FCC records

1 min read

FCC records identify a Bambu Lab device with model number PF006P, while the label shown in the filing carries the P3C name.

A new Bambu Lab model has appeared in the U.S. FCC database. The filing from Shenzhen Tuozhu Technology Co., Ltd. identifies model PF006P, while the label shown in the public documents also carries the P3C name.

At this stage, the strongest documented fact is the existence and identification of the device. Its final market positioning and complete specifications should not be inferred from the FCC filing alone.

Why it matters

The filing is another indication that Bambu Lab is expanding across multiple product lines, while the final specifications remain to be confirmed by an official product announcement.
