【3D Printing】 Bambu Lab A1 Combo Wins the 2026 Parents’ Award
Expert-approved and kid-loved
A jury of independent psychologists, physiotherapists, industry journalists, and celebrity parents conducted a full day of hands-on evaluations for all submitted products. Their assessment directly explains why you should choose Bambu.
Bambu Lab A1 Combo wins the 2026 Parents' Award in the "Educational Aids" category.
Organized by Zabawkowicz, one of the most important authorities in the children's industry in Poland and Central Europe, the "Parents' Award" is a mark of quality presented biannually by a jury comprising psychologists, physiotherapists, industry journalists, and renowned parents.

The Bambu Lab A1 Combo has been recognized with this award, confirming why families, educators, and makers choose Bambu Lab: reliability, ease of use, repeatable results, and the powerful ability to turn creative ideas into reality.
This year's 23rd annual toy competition was exceptional – it was the first time in the competition’s history that a 3D printer (the Bambu Lab A1 Combo) won an award in the educational aids category.
The jury found that the A1 Combo is not a single-purpose device but a versatile creative platform. It supports projects of varying complexity – from simple models to advanced educational models.

It plays a significant role in developing future-oriented skills: 3D modeling, logical thinking, and problem-solving, aligning with STEAM education principles. Independent experts, upholding objective and impartial evaluation, reached the same conclusion as the Bambu Lab community: this technology should be in the hands of the next generation.
The purpose of participating in the competition was to reach parents who have heard about 3D printing but have never had the opportunity to understand what this technology can offer their children – whether for homework, school projects, or simple creative play on weekends.
Experts witnessed firsthand the machine's ease of use, immediate results, and ability to translate creative thinking into something children can hold in their hands.
The Parents' Award is a credible, independent confirmation of the Bambu Lab A1 Combo's suitability for everyday use at home and its operation by children under parental supervision.

The event also featured the Bambu Lab P2S Combo printer and the CyberBrick kit, which combine 3D printing with electronics and programming, powered by Bambu Studio software and the Bambu Handy app.
The printer participating in the competition was submitted by Botland, Poland's largest Bambu Lab distributor and one of the top five distributors in Europe, also serving the Czech market.

Botland was founded in 2010 by Szymon Mońka and Bartosz Derkacz, two students from Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Today, Botland has grown into a large Polish company specializing in the distribution of electronic devices, microcomputers, robotics and mechanical parts, building automation systems, and 3D printing solutions.
This award further proves that choosing Bambu Lab is always the right decision. Whether the printer is used in a professional design studio, a school laboratory, or a child's bedroom, Bambu Lab products set the industry standard.
And it's not just about hardware.
The broader Bambu ecosystem – from Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy to MakerWorld and related platforms – provides every user with the tools and support they need to take their creativity further.

MakerWorld is a thriving platform where global creators can share, discover, and remix thousands of ready-to-print models. Maker's Supply is a platform dedicated to providing assembly accessories for toys, including the amazing CyberBrick components. Maker's Lab brings together a range of beginner-friendly design tools, offering young creators a wealth of options to find the software that best suits them.
Together, this creates an excellent environment for children and their parents to easily take their first steps into the world of 3D printing – the Bambu experience.
The 2026 Parents' Award is an achievement and another step on our journey forward. We are already planning more family-oriented initiatives and activities – because we firmly believe that technology that can transform education should be accessible to everyone.
