What is the print quality and performance of the Delta Wasp 3MT Concrete 3D Printer?

The Delta Wasp 3MT Concrete 3D Printer delivers precise large-scale prints with axis accuracy of 0.1 mm (X/Y) and 0.05 mm (Z), layered extrusion of 9–15 mm at speeds up to 200 mm/s, and stable, dimensionally reliable results enabled by metal carters and a 350 kg steel frame.

With the XXL extruder for concrete printing, it prints 9–15 mm layers and 20–40 mm thickness, using 18–30 mm nozzles for materials with particles up to 1 mm. The XL extruder for clay and porcelain achieves finer 1–2 mm layers with 4, 6, or 8 mm nozzles.

The DeltaWASP 3MT uses a Delta kinematic system for consistent printing within its Ø1000 x 1000 mm build volume. A real-time pressure control system monitors and adjusts material flow, enabling reliable extrusion with challenging mixes like fiber-reinforced concrete (fibers up to 30 mm) and clay. Its 350 kg steel frame ensures the stability needed for precise large-scale additive manufacturing of conrete mortars.

Which materials can you use with the Delta WASP 3MT?

The Delta WASP 3MT supports over 8 materials including concrete mortars with particles up to 1 mm, fiber-reinforced concrete with fibers up to 30 mm, foamed concrete, clay, porcelain, gres, and biohybrid mixes like mycelium-clay blends.

For ceramic work, the DeltaWASP 3MT uses the LDM WASP Extruder XL 3.0, designed for clay, porcelain, and gres. It provides finer control with smaller nozzles (4–8 mm nozzle diameters) compared to the concrete extruder’s 8–30 mm range. A mortar pump with real-time pressure sensing maintains steady material flow across varying viscosities.

The DeltaWASP 3MT’s continuous feeding system ensures uninterrupted printing with real-time pressure sensors at the material inlet. This adaptive control adjusts for variations in concrete and clay consistency, enabling reliable extrusion even with difficult formulations.

The WASP 3MT has been used to print a modular mycelium-clay beehive from a biohybrid mix of clay, plant fibers, and bio-based additives. Its tower-like, parametrically generated design creates controlled porosity, ensuring ventilation, insulation, and stability while supporting wood-decay fungi growth.

The WASP 3MT has been used to create a ceramic vase collection from 100% natural clay, modeled in Grasshopper for complex parametric geometries. Designs include: Ripple (ø80 × 135 mm) with wave patterns, Intertwined (ø80 × 195 mm) with root-inspired forms, Kilim (ø115 × 290 mm) referencing carpet weaving, Melting (ø100 × 170 mm) using clay deformation, and Bulky (140, 185, 240 mm heights) with textile-like textures.

The WASP 3MT printed large ceramic suspension lamps with a parametric honeycomb design using stoneware deposited mid-air. The Haibu pendant lamps, part of Paolo Castelli’s Acquerello Collection, exploit natural material behavior to form overlapping scale patterns with integrated apertures. Their dome-shaped geometry combines structural integrity, organic texture, and optimal light diffusion—achieved without support structures.

What is the difference between the Delta WASP 3MT Concrete and Delta WASP 3MT HDP?
