It's Settled
by Matthew Mensley Mar 16, 2026
Pop Mart's beef with Bambu Lab appears to be over.

Following our report from a fortnight ago, Chinese media and an official Weibo statement from Bambu Lab confirm a settlement has been reached after "friendly consultations." No specifics have been disclosed, though the agreement sees off the April 2 court date set out in the lawsuit.

The dispute began when Pop Mart sued Bambu Lab and MakerWorld for IP infringement regarding unauthorized Labubu 3D models. Bambu Lab has apologized for the "distress" caused and confirmed what we already knew – that it has removed all relevant content from its platform.
