WASP App is a new slicing and parametric 3D modeling software for clay 3D printing that lets you create your own design objects by manipulating a series of parameters, such as shape, size, texture, and slicing settings.
Users will be able to export their gcodes and print them right away using WASP’s Clay 3D printers, even in series, printing multiple pieces one after the other.
Since the beginning of 2012, WASP has been actively pioneering and setting a new standard in the world of clay 3D printing, proudly standing as one of the major key players in this field, from the small size to the architectural one, printing raw earth itself.
In 2014, thanks to Tommaso Casucci as developer, we created our first software called Vase Generator. From that moment on, our team members have continued working extensively on it, utilizing their knowledge and skills in Parametric 3D modelling developed using Grasshopper and Silkworm.
We chose to develop our own software to ensure the best possible experience for our customers. This allowed us to maintain complete control over its compatibility with our technology and anticipate future expansion possibilities, including integration with our architectural-sized 3D printer, Crane WASP.
Our aim with this tool is to improve our customers’ experience by offering a user-friendly yet powerful approach to the world of 3D modelling. We want to enable individuals, even without a specialized technical background, to experiment directly with the machine and explore their creative potential.
With Version 0.2, users will be able to access the app freely by web and experiment with it, exporting their gcodes and testing them on their 3D printers. Payment plans are going to be integrated with later, more defined versions of the app.
New exciting features will be added in the following months, including the possibility to queue different gcodes in the same file, creating a variety of unique pieces with ease, including different sets of vases, tiles, facades, and design objects. This upcoming feature fits perfectly with the recently launched WASP 40100 Clay Production System, the digital factory designed for automated 24/7 production of customized pieces.
