WASP We're dreamers, we're makers: we start from 3D printing to save the world. 🐝

We design, produce, and sell 3D printers completely Made in Italy.

Our website: www.3dwasp.com WASP - World's Advanced Saving Project is a company born in 2012 in Massa Lombarda (Ravenna- Italy) that designs, produces, and sells 3D printers Made in Italy all over the world. Inspired by the Potter Wasp, which builds its own nest with material recovered from the surrounding environment, WASP was born with the aim of developing large-scale 3D printers, to build hous

es with natural materials and available on the territory. The main company target is to provide effective benefits to humans through technological innovation and research. In response to global housing challenges, amplified by the expected increase in population and climate change, WASP sees 3D printing and digitization as a concrete solution. Since 2012, In addition to the architectural field, WASP is a producer and leader in the field of medium/large-scale Ceramic (LDM) and Plastic (FFF & FGF) 3D printing, with a wide range of products spanning various technologies, from highly precise filament and pellet extrusion systems to those for clay and fluid-dense materials. With over 10 years of experience in the field, WASP’s Clay line of 3D printers is the market leader in Liquid Deposition Modeling (LDM), offering advanced solutions suitable for both small-scale precision printing and customized serial production of fully personalized pieces using any kind of fluid-dense materials, from clay to porcelain, earthenware and even bio-materials such as mycelium. The theme of sustainability permeates every aspect of WASP's technology research and development. The family of industrial HDP (High-Definition Pellet) printers is an example of this, distinguishing itself for its ability to print directly from large granules of recycled plastic, contributing to the creation of a circular system of collection, recycling, and rebirth of plastic waste material.

Let's meet at OTWorld 2026, the leading international congress and trade fair dedicated to the medical and orthopedic sector.

At Stand F60 - Hall 1, we will showcase our latest 3D printing solutions for orthopedics and the medical field, offering an overview of how additive manufacturing is transforming the design and production of orthoses and custom devices.

You will have the chance to see our new robotic arm setup featuring the WASP Extruder HDP mounted on a ABB collaborative robot; a production setup dedicated to the creation of non-planar 3D printed orthoses and braces.

Also on display will be the WASP 60100 HDP, a large-format 3D printer designed to print directly from thermoplastic granules in high definition, enabling the production of large braces and prosthetics using materials such as polypropylene and TPU, ensuring versatility and optimized printing times.

See you there!

Bringing a 3D printing and recycling laboratory to the tunnels of for Milan Design Week.

Thanks to the RIGENERA 3D system, plastic waste can be transformed into new products directly in-house, without the need for external repelletization, and 3D printed at large scale using our customizable robotic arm solution.

Meanwhile, inside the clay lab, the WASP 40100 Production system enables automated 24/7 production of customized clay pieces, from vases and tiles to facades and design objects.

A recent update from Itaca’s construction site!

The 3D printing phase is now complete, and a new layer is taking shape: a green roof is being installed on top of the 3D printed walls, helping restore green space to the landscape.

The building envelope has been insulated using rice husks sourced from agri-food waste, combined with natural lime powder.

Thanks to their mineral and silica-rich structure, these materials are naturally suited to prevent mold and fungal growth, even in humid environments, while significantly reducing the building’s environmental impact. This performance is further enhanced by the thickness of the walls and the choice of a lime-based material, which offers lower carbon emissions than concrete and high breathability.

More steps are on the way as Itaca continues to take shape, so stay tuned!

Using rice husks sourced from waste produced by the agri-food supply chain and natural lime powder for the insulation of the 3D printed walls of Itaca.

This approach enables the creation of internal insulation rather than external, resulting in a passive energy house.

By combining the selected construction materials with natural insulating materials derived from industrial byproducts, the environmental impact of the walls is drastically reduced, to the point of achieving a negative CO₂ emissions balance.

Here are some facts about Crane WASP!

• Crane WASP is the only large-scale 3D printer specifically developed to print a variety of mortars based on cement, clay, or lime.

• Its modular system allows easy expansion and adaptation to project needs, with the basic module offering a 50 m² printing area.

• The printer is designed for rapid assembly, becoming operational in just 2 hours, without the need for cranes, forklifts, or additional equipment.

• Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for use on a wide range of construction sites, including those in hard-to-reach areas.

3D Printing Construction Site Timelapse

Crane WASP, the architectural 3D printer, is designed for rapid assembly, becoming operational in a few hours, without the need for heavy machinery.

The project ‘Ol Casél, a 3D printed service module for the Milan Bergamo Airport, was completed in record time, with only 7 days of printing and 19 days in total for the delivery of the building, demonstrating the speed and versatility of 3D printing technology in the construction sector.

Combing 3D printing with traditional construction

Ol Casél was created using Crane WASP, the modular, 3D printing system that reimagines traditional building cranes through the lens of digital manufacturing.

The walls are fully 3D-printed, while windows, doors, and the roof were added after printing. The two methods are fully integrated: the 3D printing process is designed to include spaces for wiring and openings, avoiding extra work like drilling after printing.
