README
BambuStudio
A Linux-first fork of BambuLab/BambuStudio with native packaging and automated, hardened build pipelines.
Bambu Studio is a feature-rich slicing software. It offers project-based workflows, systematically optimized slicing algorithms, and an easy-to-use graphic interface, delivering a smooth printing experience.
This fork tracks BambuLab's upstream and adds what desktop and Linux users miss most: native package distribution across every major platform, automated nightly and release builds, and hardened, fully reproducible CI/CD pipelines. Prebuilt Windows, macOS and Linux binaries are published on the releases page.
Every PR targets develop and must pass the aggregating status check.
The nightly builds develop on all platforms (Windows, macOS Intel/ARM, Linux) and publishes a pre-release with a 14-day rolling history.
A green, stable develop is promoted to master — the release-ready snapshot.
Tagged releases are GPG-signed and deployed to APT, AUR, Homebrew, winget and Flatpak automatically.
