This makes me worry that BambuLab might be up on the list too. Any Chinese-owned company becomes a risk. Not necessarily from an actual surveillance/security/propaganda point of view, but it's hard to not view the TikTok ban as a little xenophobic.
It's weird to me that so many congress-people are convinced this is a existential threat, but nobody shares any meaningful evidence. It feels like the kind of situation where "We can't tell them to move the nukes out of ____ because then they'll know our capabilities to detect their nukes."

- sithadmin 2y agoThe difference between DJI and Bambu is that Bambu products aren't being used in contexts that convey potentially sensitive information about infrastructure, heavy industry, agriculture, or land development. Bambu has a place in the low end of the market, but anybody doing serious prototyping work in spaces that cross into 'national security' territory is relying on far more specialized and US/Euro-centric vendor ecosystems for additive manufacturing.
