WASP 3MT HDP
*These machines are made to order, please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. The machine also requires assembly in the work area on delivery and will need to be installed by a Wasp technician which will require a separate quotation for NON EU customers. Please contact us regarding this. Space required for assembly: 5.5m x 2.5m x 3.6m (w x d x h).
WASP 3MT HDP Industrial Pellet 3D Printer
The WASP 3MT HDP (High Deposition Polymer) is a large-format industrial pellet 3D printer engineered for high-speed production of structural thermoplastic components. Featuring a closed build area and a Ø1000 × 1000 mm cylindrical build volume, it is designed for technical departments, manufacturing facilities, universities and prototyping centres requiring large-scale polymer fabrication with reduced material cost. The integrated auto feeder pellet tank and end pellet sensor improve process continuity, making the system suitable for extended production cycles.
Pellet Extrusion for High-Volume Polymer Production
The HDP configuration enables direct printing from thermoplastic pellets commonly used in injection moulding. This approach reduces material cost compared to filament while supporting high flow rates suitable for large structural prints.
- Continuous feed pellet extruder with 3 mm nozzle for high deposition output
- Auto feeder pellet tank with end pellet sensor for uninterrupted operation
- Compressed air requirement up to 8 Bar for stable material feed
The system supports raw polymer materials such as PLA and other industrial thermoplastics, allowing more flexible and economical production workflows.
Large Build Volume with Interchangeable Extrusion Options
With a Ø1000 mm diameter × 1000 mm height build envelope, the WASP 3MT HDP enables full-scale prototypes, moulds, structural components and tooling to be printed without segmentation.
- Layer heights from 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm for balancing resolution and throughput
- Red Spitfire extruder option for increased print speed while maintaining surface quality
- Optimised for strong, large-format thermoplastic structures
The interchangeable extrusion system allows users to configure the printer for either high-speed production or controlled large-object fabrication, depending on project requirements.
Industrial Process Control and Recovery Systems
Designed for extended production environments, the 3MT HDP integrates process control features that improve reliability and operator oversight.
- Resurrection System for print resume after interruption or power loss
- Free Zed System for restarting from a defined Z-height
- VAC (Vacuum Active Control) system for automatic plate release after printing
- Fixed camera module for remote monitoring, timelapse and documentation
Installation and Operational Requirements
The WASP 3MT HDP is delivered disassembled and assembled on-site within the final installation environment. A minimum ceiling height of 3.6 metres is required. The system requires a suitable air compressor (up to 8 Bar) for pellet extrusion operation. Installation and training services are available within Europe, including on-site commissioning by a WASP technician. The 3MT HDP is suited to industrial prototyping departments, manufacturing facilities and research institutions seeking large-format, cost-efficient thermoplastic additive manufacturing.
