The record

Purpose: Bambu Studio is slicing software with project-based workflows, optimized slicing algorithms, and a graphical interface.
Slicing tools: It includes basic slicing, a G-code viewer, multiple plate management, and object auto-arrange and auto-orient tools.
Supports and materials: It offers hybrid, tree, normal, and customized supports, plus multi-material printing and painting tools.
Remote features: Its listed features include remote printer control and monitoring.
Advanced tools: Additional features include STEP support, assembly and explosion views, and arc-path support.
Platforms: The project lists prebuilt releases for Windows, 64-bit macOS, and Linux.
Linux availability: The project says its Linux release page provides AppImages for Ubuntu and Fedora, and points to a Flathub version for Linux platforms.
License: Bambu Studio is licensed under GNU AGPL version 3.
Networking limitation: The networking plugin uses non-free libraries, is optional, and printing by SD card is available after slicing without it.
Profiles: Bambu Lab says Bambu Studio includes printer and filament profiles based on tests by its engineers and integrated with hardware logic.
Model library connection: Bambu Lab says MakerWorld models include print profiles optimized for Bambu Lab printers.
Software security: Bambu Lab says Bambu Studio is code-signed and uses virtual-machine protection, anti-debugging measures, and regular security updates.
Cloud security: For cloud features, Bambu Lab describes encrypted HTTPS, MQTTS, and DTLS communications and secure device authentication.
Privacy options: Bambu Lab describes LAN-Only Mode, offline firmware updates, and Stealth Printing, which avoids cloud storage of print files unless the user chooses it.
