WASP

World’s Advanced Saving Project

Davide Neri

The Italian 3D printer maker from Massa Lombarda was among the headline guests of the second edition. On 22 February, Marketing and Sales Director Davide Neri talked through how WASP answers human needs and reshapes industrial production — from houses printed out of earth to clay, medicine and putting material back into the loop.

    The full circular wall, printed in front of a fixed camera.

  • Shamballa, 6–7 October 2018 1:02

    The teaser for the event at Shamballa Technology Park — WASP’s own grounds in Massa Lombarda.

  • WASP Med — the Blender add-on 4:51

    From a 3D scan to a printed medical device, step by step in Blender.

  • Rigenera 0:54

    Printed parts ground back into material for the next print.

  • WASP Hub Network 3:10

    WASP’s network of hubs, and the first project the collective built together.
