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 houses 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.

Inside the Transamerica Redwood Park in San Francisco, a unique 3D printed project took shape.

EARTHSEED DOME consists in a site-responsive installation that stands as an homage to the Bay Area ecosystem and an invitation for visitors to contribute to its preservation.

Created by botanical artist Lily Scout Kwong and presented by Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, the massive looped structure is a remarkable engineering achievement. At its base, 3D printed seeded soil forms made from Northern California earth blended with compost and natural fibers act as catalysts for growth, allowing native flowers to bloom within the dome’s soil mounds.

The modules of the installation were 3D printed using a robotic arm system featuring the WASP LDM XXL Extruder and the CFS HD pumping system. Simultaneously, a series of 3D printed soil forms were created using the WASP 40100 LDM and the CFS HD.

The forms were then filled with seeds of local wildflowers, which bloomed after being placed in the dome’s soil mounds at its base.

Taking you inside ’s 3D printed exhibition stand at 2026 in Düsseldorf!

Covering an area of approximately 100 m², the installation was designed to deliver a strong visual impact while showcasing the potential of large-scale additive manufacturing.

The entire process, from prototyping to final production, took approximately one and a half months, thanks to the distribution of activities between the production facilities in Modena and London. This approach significantly increased production capacity while ensuring the project was completed within the required timeframe.

Have you ever seen an entirely 3D printed exhibition stand?

UPM Group created a 100 m² 3D printed booth stand for World‘s No.1 Retail Trade Fair 2026, the world’s leading international trade fair for the retail industry. The stand featured fully 3D-printed architectural elements and custom furniture.

Production was carried out using large-format 3D printing with KUKA robotic arms equipped with WASP HDP XL and WASP HDP XXL extruders. This setup enabled the manufacture of large-scale components with high structural strength and exceptional design freedom.

The stand was produced using UV-stabilized PETG-GF 20%, a glass fiber-reinforced material certified as flame-retardant, making it particularly suitable for exhibition and fit-out applications.

.arch Tech Lab successfully delivered a 6‑meter‑tall 3D printed model of an air traffic control tower for the ZHAviation exhibition booth at Passenger Terminal Expo 2026 in London.

The installation was based on an original tower design by ZHA and represents one of the Lab’s most technically ambitious fabrication projects to date.

The project was developed and produced entirely in‑house using the Lab’s WASP HDP XL Extruder. In total, fifteen modular panels, each approximately one metre in height and width, were printed continuously over 270 hours using fire‑resistant PETG to meet exhibition safety requirements.

This project marks the first major use of the Tech Lab’s newly installed second robot, enabling simultaneous multi‑robot fabrication. The team collaborated closely with WASP to extend their CEREBRO robotic control system, achieving – for the first time – successful multi‑robot integration within this setup.

This advancement significantly expands the Lab’s future capabilities in producing large‑scale architectural components through robotic 3D printing.

We're excited to share that we will be speaking at Bouw met Aarde on June 26 in Rotterdam, exploring the new frontier of architectural 3D printing for earth construction.

Our talk, presented by Francesca Moretti, CEO and Co-founder of WASP, will focus on how 3D printing technology can enable a more efficient and sustainable approach to earth construction. This is made possible through the use of Crane WASP, the first Italian architectural 3D printer to be commercialized globally.

You can find more information about the event at the following link:

Itaca: the self-sufficient 3D printed farm

After years of research and development, we’re excited to share with you the completion of Itaca: the 3D printed self-sufficient farm and living model based on a circular micro-economy.

Itaca represents a new construction model, designed for replication at national and international scale. Thanks to the Crane WASP printer, high standards of efficiency, adaptability, and design can be achieved.

The project complies with strict Italian and regional seismic standards, demonstrating how 3D printing can achieve the same safety standards as traditional construction and establishing Itaca as the first certified and replicable 3D printed structure in Italy.

The entire wall envelope was printed using a mixture based on pure NHL lime and Geolegante, supplied by Kerakoll, selected for its lower carbon emissions compared to traditional cement. The materials, combined
with rice husk and integrated natural insulation, ensure high thermal performance, breathability, and a reduced environmental impact.

The outdoor areas will host laboratories and research & development centers for international experts in architectural 3D printing. As part of the Shamballa ecosystem, the project aims to develop innovative ideas in bio-construction and sustainable living, alongside complementary systems such as automated gardens,
rainwater harvesting systems, and initiatives focused on micro circular economies.

Itaca stands as a symbol of innovation and technological development, as well as a research laboratory for a sustainable future.
