WASP 3MT LDM
*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. Please contact us regarding this. Space required for assembly: 5.5m x 2.5m x 3.6m (w x d x h).
WASP 3MT LDM Clay 3D Printer
The WASP 3MT LDM is a large-format clay and ceramic 3D printer developed for architectural fabrication, sculpture studios, universities and advanced production environments. With a cylindrical build volume of Ø1000 × 1000 mm and a closed build chamber, it enables the production of full-scale ceramic components in a single build cycle. Built around WASP’s Liquid Deposition Modelling (LDM) technology, the system is engineered for dense ceramic mixtures, controlled material flow and repeatable large-scale fabrication.
Advanced LDM Extrusion for Dense Ceramic Materials
The 3MT LDM platform is built specifically for high-viscosity clay, porcelain and mineral-based materials. The LDM Clay Extruder XL uses a 5L tank system with interchangeable 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm stainless steel nozzles, supporting controlled deposition of dense ceramic mixtures.
- High torque motor for consistent extrusion of stiff clay bodies
- Integrated degassing system to reduce air bubbles and improve surface consistency
- Precise flow management with controlled retraction to prevent over-deposition
Large-Scale Build Volume for Architectural Fabrication
With a cylindrical build volume of Ø1000 mm diameter × 1000 mm height, the WASP 3MT LDM allows the production of large ceramic forms without segmentation. This reduces assembly time and structural weaknesses associated with bonded sections.
- Layer heights from 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm for balancing resolution and speed
- Delta kinematics for smooth, continuous motion during fluid material deposition
- Closed build environment to improve process stability during long builds
The large-format configuration makes the system suitable for structural prototypes, ceramic moulds, architectural components and sculptural installations.
Production Continuity with Resurrection and Free Zed Systems
Long-duration clay prints require reliable recovery options. The integrated Resurrection System allows interrupted prints to resume after power loss or intentional stoppage, protecting material investment and production time.
- Auto-save and restart capability for extended build cycles
- Free Zed System for restarting from a defined Z-height
- Ideal for sectional fabrication and iterative prototyping workflows
These features are particularly valuable in research, architectural prototyping and ceramic production environments where builds may run for extended periods.
Installation and Deployment
The WASP 3MT LDM is delivered disassembled and assembled on-site within the final installation space. A minimum room height of 3.6 metres is required for installation and operation. The system is suited to ceramic laboratories, universities, design studios and construction research facilities seeking controlled, repeatable, large-scale clay deposition within a professional production workflow.
