The GLAMS Project aims to create structural elements for the construction of lunar bases through 3D printing of lunar soils Funded by ASI – the Italian Space Agency, the two years GLAMS Project (Geopolymers for Additive Manufacturing and Lunar Monitoring) aims to create structural elements for the construction of lunar bases through a 3D printing approach that uses cement binders extracted from lunar soils (regolith). By exploiting locally available raw materials, the concept of the project is to minimize the costs and environmental impact due to the transport of raw materials f ..read more

A 3D printed custom-made packaging in nylon-carbon for Lionel Messi Photo by Getty Images Adidas commissioned WASP to create a one-of-a-kind 3D printed shoebox that was handed directly to Lionel Messi as a special gift for his 8th Ballon d’Or win, containing a custom-made pair of Adidas shoes. This unique packaging was fully created using WASP 4070 ZX, the professional 3D printer for ultra-precise prints, working with technical materials such as nylon carbon. After being printed in Italy at WASP’s headquarters, the shoebox was shipped to Adidas’s team. Following the ..read more

‘Radicant’ is a 3D printed wall panel created from waste materials by the Royal Danish Academy At the Royal Danish Academy, CITA – Center for Information Technology and Architecture has developed Radicant: a 3D printed wall paneling system created from waste-stream-based biopolymer. This innovative construction incorporates materials such as bone glue and cellulose fibers derived from agricultural residues and wastes, including bark, paper, recycled linen (cotton), and seagrass. The structure was created using a custom print head connected to WASP Industrial Clay Extrusion Kit: a system ..read more

WASP featured on ‘Macondo’ on Rai 3 in the ‘House of the Future’ episode On the third episode of the TV show ‘Macondo‘, broadcasted by Rai 3, WASP is featured as a representative of the ‘House of the Future’ for its dedication to sustainable architecture using natural materials and 3D printing technology. Massimo Moretti, WASP’s founder, takes us on a tour of WASP’s headquarters, explaining the history of the company and its evolution throughout the years, from the construction of the first architectural size 3D printer, to the creation of Gaia, the world’s first 3D printed house in raw earth ..read more

Using mycelium to reinforce 3D printed clay structures At the Institute of Architecture and Media at Graz University of Technology, the Shape Lab research group developed a new material named MyCera composed of clay, wood sawdust, and mycelium (vegetative part of fungi). The research focuses on using mycelium as an intelligently oriented fiber reinforcement to increase the structural performance of 3D printed unfired clay elements and allow for bio-welding of fired elements. The Shape Lab team used a Delta WASP 40100 Clay to carry out their research and successfully print MyCera, taking advant ..read more
