WASP (World's Advanced Saving Project; WASP S.r.l.) is an Italian maker of delta and large-format 3D printers from Massa Lombarda, near Ravenna. Its printers handle technical filaments, pellets, clay and ceramics, and its construction printers (Crane WASP) print buildings from local earth, such as the TECLA house completed with Mario Cucinella Architects in 2021. Buyers are ceramic studios, architects, orthopaedic and medical users, research labs and industry.

Штаб-квартира: Massa Lombarda (Ravenna), Italy · Власність: WASP S.r.l.; founded by Massimo Moretti, and WASP says its projects are self-financed · Вебсайт: www.3dwasp.com

Mixed: open on materials and slicers, with spare parts sold and no cloud required, but the firmware is WASP's own and not published.

Прошивка й користувацька прошивка
●●●●●		 Current WASP printers run the company's own firmware (WASP's GitHub calls it 'WASP Firmware'). WASP publishes only an old firmware for the discontinued Delta WASP Open kit (2019) and a 2012 Marlin fork for the PowerWASP; we found no source for current machines. [5][6][8][9]
Локальне керування та інтеграції
●●●●●		 The 4070 FX connects over Wi-Fi, LAN or USB and can be monitored and controlled from a phone, tablet or computer; the 2040 PRO prints from an SD card. WASP's GitHub holds an OctoPrint 1.3.8 fork 'working with WASP firmware' (2021), but WASP does not say which interface current printers expose to other software. WASP also offers remote intervention by its technicians. We found no cloud account requirement. [2][3][9]

Ремонт і запчастини
