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.
