Let’s Make It Fund: program for makers who want to achieve the impossible

Many makers have experienced this feeling at least once in their lives: you come up with an idea so huge, so wild, and so ambitious that you’re almost afraid to say it out loud... And yet these are exactly the kinds of projects that change the world.

This is why the “Let’s Make It Fund” was created - a new program from Bambu Lab designed to support the boldest makers with grants reaching up to 300,000 USD.

This program is unlike any other. There are no strict templates you must follow. Instead, it’s an invitation to take a step further. It’s a call for those who want to bring to life something no one has dared to attempt before.

Who is the Let’s Make It Fund for?

In short: for anyone brave enough to dream beyond the standard. It doesn’t matter whether you have a single printer on your desk or a small design studio; whether you’re just starting out or have been sharing your projects for years.

What matters is whether you have an idea that can turn “the impossible” into something real.

The program is open to anyone who can tell the story of their idea and present a plan for making it happen. We’re looking for ideas that improve people’s lives, educate, inspire, or even bring social value.

In practice, there are only three requirements. The projects must be:

• Exceptional, meaning they push boundaries
• Enlightening, meaning they bring something positive to the world
• Executionable - that is, genuinely feasible.

The “Let’s Make It Fund” runs continuously, without strict deadlines or submission limits. Makers can submit multiple ideas if they feel each one deserves its own chance.

Importantly, the program does not require you to own a Bambu Lab printer. If your idea is strong enough, the company will support it regardless of what tools you currently have. Selected projects receive not only financial support adapted to their scale, but also technical and promotional assistance, including coverage across Bambu Lab’s channels and collaborations with external partners.

The only expectation for creators is to document their journey, share the stages of developing their project, and highlight the moments that truly capture the spirit of “Let’s Make It.”

How does it work? As simple as 3D printing with an AMS!

Submit your idea - and that’s it.
Or more precisely:

• submissions are ongoing with no deadlines
• you can submit multiple projects
• you don’t need to own a Bambu Lab printer
• each quarter, we choose between two and five projects
• selected creators might receive financial, technical, and promotional support
• typical grants ranges from a few thousand dollars up to 300,000 USD - with the possibility of more if your project truly requires it.

In return, we ask only one thing: document the process. Share your “Let’s Make It moments.” Inspire others the same way someone once inspired you.

A story that began with the community

To understand why Bambu Lab created this initiative, it’s worth going back to the company’s early days. Our story began thanks to the community. It was people connected to the world of 3D printing who were the first to support the X1 project on Kickstarter - a 3D printer that became a breakthrough and marked the beginning of a new standard in the industry.

A similar story unfolded three years later with CyberBrick, another project that resonated with the community and proved that makers still know how to come together, inspire each other, and push the world forward.

From the very beginning, Bambu Lab understood that the company’s growth was directly tied to this creative energy - and that at some point, the community could no longer be seen merely as a foundation but needed to be treated as a partner.

That’s how the idea for a formal, scalable program to support bold creators was born. Not as a PR stunt, but as an investment in those who might build the next revolution.

In the same spirit, MakerWorld introduced another tool: crowdfunding. Although separate from the “Let’s Make It Fund,” it aligns perfectly with its philosophy. It gives creators a dedicated space to present their vision, set a goal, and encourage the community to support it.

This might be your moment...

Every creator carries that one idea that keeps coming back like a boomerang. The one you think about late at night while convincing yourself it’s too difficult. The one you never quite have time, resources, or courage to pursue.

The “Let’s Make It Fund” exists precisely so that this idea can finally leave your mind and begin shaping reality.

Bambu Lab wants to ensure that creators don’t abandon ambitious projects simply because they’re too big, too risky, or too expensive. We want to see projects that until now existed only in sketchbooks and notebooks. And we want to be part of bringing them to life.

Submit your idea. Open the doors that have been closed until now. Create something that doesn’t yet exist. And show the world what creators are truly capable of.

Let’s Make It - Together!
