WASP 60100 HDP Large-Format Pellet 3D Printer
The WASP 60100 HDP is a large-format industrial 3D printer designed to print directly from plastic granules (pellets) for cost-efficient, high-throughput production of sizeable thermoplastic parts. With a Ø600 x 1000 mm cylindrical build volume, pneumatic continuous feeding and a liquid-cooled high-temperature extruder, it is suited to production departments, R&D labs, universities and service bureaus that need repeatable large builds using a wider range of polymer feedstocks than filament-based systems.
Pellet Printing with Continuous Feeding and High-Temperature Extrusion
The 60100 HDP prints from injection-moulding-style pellets, enabling lower material cost and simplified bulk handling for long production runs. The pneumatic continuous feeding system supports stable flow during extended builds, while the liquid-cooled extruder is engineered for high-temperature polymers with hotend temperatures up to 500 °C.
- Pneumatic continuous feeding for 24/7 large-format pellet printing
- Liquid-cooled high-temperature extruder (hotend up to 500 °C)
- 35 L material tank for longer unattended runs
Typical workflows include large tooling, fixtures, prototypes and functional parts where pellet supply and thermal stability matter more than fine-detail filament output.
Build Volume, Motion System and Print Performance
The Ø600 x 1000 mm print volume supports tall, single-piece builds and reduces the need for splitting and bonding. For throughput, the platform is specified for print speeds up to 200 mm/s (travel up to 300 mm/s) with layer resolution from 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm, depending on material and nozzle configuration.
- Nozzle diameters: 1 mm and 2 mm for controlled pellet deposition
- Steel-core precision belts and robust mechanics for repeatable motion
- Machined aluminium bed with interchangeable plates for faster changeover
Connectivity options (Wi-Fi, LAN and USB) support integration into lab and production networks, with a 7-inch TFT touchscreen interface for local control.
Process Stability: FIRECAP Heated Chamber, VAC Build Plate Control and Filtration
For demanding polymers and consistent inter-layer bonding, the 60100 HDP uses WASP’s patented FIRECAP localised heated chamber concept, designed to improve adhesion across the build while limiting unnecessary energy use. Active Vacuum Build Plate Control (VAC) supports secure retention during printing and simplifies removal at the end of the job.
- Localised chamber temperature up to 200 °C for better layer adhesion
- VAC (Vacuum Active Control) for stable builds and quicker plate handling
- HEPA filtration to support cleaner operation in workshop and lab spaces
These controls are particularly relevant when running higher-temperature materials or printing tall parts where thermal drift and micro-movement can affect quality.
Materials, Software and Site Requirements
The WASP 60100 HDP supports official WASP pellets (PLA, ABS) and a broad range of technical and sustainable pellet materials including ASA, PP, TPU, PEEK, PC, PPS, PLA Wood and PLASMIX, with additional specialist feedstocks listed for R&D contexts. Supported file types include .stl, .obj and .gcode, with Simplify3D supplied and Cura/Slic3r supported across Windows, macOS and Linux. The system requires 220/240 V power (max absorbed 3.5 kW) and an 8 bar air supply (50 L tank recommended). With a footprint of 109 x 100 x 255 cm and a machine weight of 300 kg, it is best deployed in industrial workshops, universities and engineering labs where pellet logistics, ventilation planning and long-run reliability are key.
