Bambu Lab, one of the fastest-growing manufacturers of consumer-grade 3D printers, is facing two patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. Stratasys, a leading name in industrial 3D printing technology since 1988, filed the lawsuits on Aug. 8 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.

Both lawsuits accuse Bambu Lab of infringing on patents held by Stratasys. Stratasys names six companies associated with the umbrella Bambu Lab name, demanding a jury trial for the cases. If Stratasys is able to defend the patents in question successfully, it could lead to a major disruption to the consumer 3D printing industry.
