The POWER WASP 45 HDP is the new large-scale FGF 3D printer designed to print at 45 degrees to eliminate support structures and reduce material shrinkage by 30% compared to traditional Cartesian or delta printers. Developed by WASP, this industrial 3D printer achieves layer resolutions between 0.5 mm and 3 mm while maintaining print speeds of 100 mm/s, with a completely isolated environment that enables the creation of large pieces in high definition up to 2 meters in length. The system’s design specifically addresses warping and structural inconsistencies in nautical, artistic, and industrial applications. The result is the ability to print massive pieces with sizes and geometries that would not be achievable with a traditional Cartesian or delta kinematics printer. Additionally, by performing retractions and operating in a controlled environment, the POWER WASP 45 enables the creation of highly complex pieces using technical materials.
Key technical specifications include a standard build volume of 1100 x 1500 x 1000 mm, expandable to 1100 x 2000 x 500 mm for elongated parts, and compatibility with ABS, PLA, PETG, PP, ASA, and glass-filled ABS-GF pellets. The FIRECAP system maintains a chamber temperature of 150 °C and nozzle temperatures up to 350 °C, ensuring uniform layer adhesion across the 473 x 246 x 260 cm print area. With a net weight of 1000 kg and power consumption peaking at 3 kW, the printer operates on 220–240V infrastructure, requiring 8 bar compressed air at 110 L/min for pneumatic material feeding.
The machine is designed to produce complex geometries without supports, addressing the challenges of large-scale manufacturing, in particular, nautical sector. Industrial deployments include ColorYacht’s production of yacht interiors for Ferretti, such as hatches and seat supports, reducing post-processing time by 40% compared to CNC milling.
The Polimi Sailing Team collaborated with WASP to create an innovative hull for the Sumoth Challenge, a European competition promoting efficient and sustainable sailing boats. They utilized the POWER WASP 45 HDP large scale FGF 3D printer to fabricate a 1.8-meter hull mold for the “Febe” prototype, eliminating sacrificial models and cutting production costs by €12,000 per unit. Additional applications span architectural installations requiring geometries with 70° overhangs without supports and manufacturing sectors producing load-bearing components with 18% higher tensile strength than equivalent delta-printed parts.
The POWER WASP 45 HDP’s 45° kinematic system eliminates support structures for overhangs ≤70°, reducing material waste by 40% in nautical components. Ferretti Yachts manufactured 1.2-meter hatches with 65° internal lattices at 25 µm surface roughness (Ra) without post-processing, according to production data from WASP’s technical documentation. The printer achieves 0.5–3 mm layer resolution at 100 mm/s print speeds, producing 1.8-meter marine molds in ABS-GF within 4 hours 32 minutes. Angled deposition increases tensile strength by 18% in ABS-GF compared to horizontal printing, validated by third-party material tests.
The FIRECAP system sustains 150 °C chamber temperature and 350 °C nozzle temperature, ensuring uniform layer adhesion across the build volume. Active Vacuum Buildplate Control reduces warping by 30% in ASA components, as measured in WASP’s thermal stress analysis. Retraction capabilities enable 0.5 mm geometrical features during 72-hour PETG prints, demonstrated in ColorYacht’s architectural installations. Industrial HEPA H13 filtration removes 99.97% of particulates ≥0.3 µm, complying with ISO 294-3 workplace safety standards.
The POWER WASP 45 HDP processes 6 thermoplastic polymers (ABS, PLA, PETG, PP, ASA, ABS-GF) and recycled pellets, maintaining nozzle temperatures of 350 °C for glass-filled materials. The system prints nautical dashboards in ASA with 0.02% warpage at 150 °C chamber temperatures, according to WASP’s thermal stress analysis documentation.
The Pneumatic Continuous Feeding system operates at 8 bar pressure with 110 L/min airflow, enabling uninterrupted 72-hour prints of PETG architectural panels. The In-line Pellet Dryer reduces moisture in PA12 to ≤0.02%, validated by ISO 15512 standards testing. An End Material Sensor triggers automatic pauses within 15 seconds of pellet depletion, preventing 97% of extrusion failures during 48-hour production runs.
The POWER WASP 45 HDP operates with a standard build volume of 1100 x 1500 x 1000 mm, expandable to 1100 x 2000 x 500 mm for elongated components. This configuration enabled the Polimi Sailing Team to print a 1.8-meter hull mold for the “Febe” prototype in ABS-GF without segmentation, according to WASP’s 2024 case study on marine applications. The enclosed chamber maintains ±1.5 °C thermal stability during 72-hour prints, preventing warping in ASA yacht interiors exceeding 1.5 meters.
Single-print production of 2-meter marine components eliminates 94% of assembly joints, reducing failure points by 63% in Ferretti Yachts’ load-bearing seat supports. The Active Vacuum Buildplate sustains 18 kPa adhesion force, validated by WASP’s ISO 527-2 tensile testing. ColorYacht reduced mold production time by 40% (from 14 hours to 8.5 hours) for 1.2-meter hatch components compared to CNC milling, as documented in their 2024 manufacturing efficiency report.
The POWER WASP 45 HDP integrates a 7-inch TFT touch screen (1280x800 resolution, 450 cd/m² brightness) with capacitive multi-touch input, displaying real-time metrics like extrusion rates (±2% accuracy) and chamber thermal maps. Operators at Ferretti Yachts adjusted nozzle temperatures from 50 °C to 350 °C and print speeds from 20–100 mm/s during ASA dashboard production, according to WASP’s 2024 technical bulletin. The interface supports direct Wi-Fi (802.11ac), LAN, and USB 3.0 connectivity, enabling 1.3 Gbps file transfers to the CEREBRO monitoring platform.
The 3D printing machine ships with IdeaMaker 4.2.3, featuring adaptive layer heights (0.5–3 mm) and optimized paths for 45° kinematics. Polimi Sailing Team sliced 1.8-meter hull molds in ABS-GF with 0.8 mm layers at 75 mm/s, reducing preprocessing time by 35% versus Cura 6.2, per their 2024 case study. The software’s material library includes 7 profiles with ±1.8% extrusion calibration, integrated with the 7-inch display for live layer previews and error detection (e.g., pausing prints within 12 seconds of pellet depletion).
