Power WASP 45 HDP - Pellet Printer

The Power WASP 45 HDP is a large-format 3D printer designed for industrial and professional production using FGF technology (Fused Granular Fabrication). This pellet 3D printer allows printing at 45 degrees, optimizing the creation of complex geometries and ensuring that each layer adheres perfectly, reducing the need for supports and improving surface quality. Thanks to this innovative approach, large-scale 3D printing achieves a uniform distribution of thermal stresses, minimizing shrinkage and warping, and ensuring durable and precise parts.

Advanced Technology and Competitive Advantages

The Power WASP 45 HDP features a HDP XL extruder with continuous pneumatic feeding, FIRECAP system with localized hot chamber, active print bed control, and an industrial smoke extraction unit with HEPA H13 filters. These features allow safe operation with technical and reinforced materials, ensuring a stable, efficient, and professional 3D printing process. Additionally, the printer includes end-of-material sensors and an online pellet drying system, ensuring uninterrupted production and maintaining industrial-quality parts.

Printing at 45 degrees not only reduces the need for supports but also optimizes the use of 3D printing pellets, improves force distribution in large-volume parts, and enables the creation of geometries impossible with other technologies. This combination of technical innovation and energy efficiency makes the Power WASP 45 HDP a leading solution in professional and large-scale 3D printers.

Technical Specifications

The print volume of the Power WASP 45 HDP allows for the production of large parts in a controlled space. The printer offers a massive printing area of up to 1100 mm wide, 1500 mm long, and 1000 mm high, with the possibility to print parts up to 2000 mm in length. Its nozzle has a 3 mm diameter (optional 5 mm), and the layer resolution ranges from 0.5 to 3 mm.

The Power WASP 45 HDP can reach printing and travel speeds of up to 100 mm per second, with a maximum hotend temperature of 350 °C and a chamber temperature of 150 °C. The printer measures 473 x 246 x 260 cm and weighs 1000 kg, requiring a minimum installation space of 620 x 390 x 300 cm and a packaged weight of 1800 kg. Connectivity includes WiFi, LAN, and USB, while the interface features a 7-inch TFT touchscreen and RGB LED bar, making project control and monitoring easy. Thanks to its enclosed chamber, printing occurs in a stable environment that ensures high-quality parts, minimizing deformations and guaranteeing perfect layer adhesion.

Material Compatibility and Production Efficiency

The Power WASP 45 HDP is compatible with a wide range of 3D printing pellets, including PLA, ABS, PETG, PP, ASA, recycled PLA, as well as composite materials like PLA wood and PLASMIX. Pellets are up to ten times more economical than traditional filaments, allowing for reduced costs and production time, especially in large-scale projects and industrial applications. The printer is ideal for producing technical parts, molds, custom furniture, large-format sculptures, and specialized components for sectors such as aeronautics, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.

Professional Applications and the Nautical Sector

In the nautical sector, the Power WASP 45 HDP is used to produce molds and custom components for boats, optimizing efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Thanks to its large print volume, it is possible to produce hull molds and structures directly without intermediate models or traditional milling processes. This approach significantly reduces costs, production time, and material usage while improving precision, watertightness, and strength of the parts.

In art and sculpture, this large-scale 3D printer allows creating art installations, monumental sculptures, and decorative architectural structures with industrial precision. For design and furniture, it enables the production of customized furniture, surfaces, and urban elements, while in the technical industry, it produces specialized components that meet the highest standards of quality and durability.

Nautical Success Story

The Polimi Sailing Team used the Power WASP 45 HDP to develop an innovative hull for the Sumoth Challenge, a European competition promoting sustainable and efficient vessels. Thanks to the pellet 3D printer, the team printed the hull mold directly, eliminating traditional milling processes and significantly reducing costs and production time. 3D printing enabled the creation of complex geometries that optimize thermal resistance and watertightness. With the support of 50 students, the prototype “Febe” won the competition, demonstrating how professional large-scale 3D printing can drive innovation and sustainability in the nautical sector.

Software and Industry 4.0 Connectivity

The printer includes IdeaMaker as slicing software and is compatible with Cura and AiSync, supporting STL, OBJ, and GCODE files on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. WiFi and LAN connectivity allow remote monitoring and production control. Its advanced touchscreen interface, CE certification, and Industry 4.0 compatibility ensure a professional, safe, and efficient working environment.

Professional 3D Printing Without Limits

The Power WASP 45 HDP combines a massive print volume, high-definition 3D printing, energy efficiency, and compatibility with technical and recycled materials. This industrial printer is the ideal solution for professionals seeking large-scale 3D printing, cost reduction, productivity, and sustainability in industrial, artistic, and design projects.
