The meeting between HONDA R&D Europe and WASP is hoping to produce breakthroughs in motorcycle modeling that will improve industrial development processes. Currently in the two-wheeler industry, the creation of a new prototype is achieved through manual modeling of an industrial clay and 3D printing.

WASP has completed the printing phase of the TECLA supporting structure, the fully 3D printed construction based on natural materials and made with multiple 3D printers operating at the same time. 

To answer the strong demand of serial production, WASP has announced that it now offers a new approach, giving the possibility to produce small series and allowing fast and cheap product variations with the new customized serial production. The Delta WASP 2040 PRODUCTION is a new automated process for 24h printing of technical materials, introducing the new automatic part removal system.

Not only chocolate! We should be able to taste complete meals 3D printed in a very short time thanks to the use of additional technology machines. A large development of 3D printing in the food field has already been pictured, even first in the catering than in the houses construction; a similar family impact occured with microwave some time ago. WASP's research is actually dealing with this sector too.

WASP returns to Argillà to show the future of Ceramics: turning Ancient craft techniques into 3D Technology. Argillà it’s the International Ceramics Festival in Faenza – Italy – where every two years Potteries, Artists and Ceramic Experts from wherever in the world come to meet each other.

WASP moves outside Massa Lombarda, and outside Italy too: the first WASP HUB is opening in Madrid, and this is the first step of a long way to go. The opening will take place during Madrid Mini Maker Fair, on 24th and 25th of September at Medialab-Prado. The person in charge for the Spanish WASP Hub is Gianluca Pugliese, known as Owen: WASP partner, artist and maker, with his WASP Delta Turbo he creates fascinating light paintings, mixing photogr...

  A new 3D printer, DeltaWASP 3MT has been presented by WASP. WASP started experimenting with chairs printed with plastic pellet. Now WASP is ready to show the DeltaWASP 3MT at Additive Manufacturing Europe 2016 in Amsterdam from 28th to 30th June.

A collaboration between Thailand’s largest cement manufacturer and a one of the country’s major architectural companies is employing 3D technology to create the first 3D printed house in Asia.

A recognised innovator in the design and manufacture of rotary switches, touch screens, membranes and keypads for the professional, military, aviation, medical instrument and telecommunications industries, WASP has much to offer visitors to the Southern Manufacturing show - Farnborough Five Feb 16-17 2011.

Three new brochures are available for downloading from the Wessex Advanced Switching Products (WASP) website.

Designed to suit applications and requirements from satisfying aesthetics, to rugged, fully sealed washdown units, WASP has added a number of options to its range of moulded silicon keypads. Among the many variations offered by WASP are translucent pads for backlighting and light guides which can be designed to give low or high intensity light depending on the situation.

Setting a new trend in the manufacture of resistive touch screens, WASP is now offering its products with a choice of tough back panel materials. Normally, resistive touch screens are only mounted to a glass back panel, which, due to its fragility, is not always the ideal material in certain applications. However, following new developments, WASP can now offer the screens mounted on to acrylic and polyester.

A new ‘Pull to Turn’ facility can be added to any of the rotary switches made by WASP. ’Pull to Turn’ adds an extra position to the switch which is not operational until the spindle has been pulled. This facility can be supplied in as many positions as required and can be fitted at either end of the mechanism travel.

Developed initially for passenger aircraft seating controls, a new capacitive switching system from WASP is easily adapted for use in almost every situation where non-mechanical switching is required. A conventional printed graphic overlay, protected by clear acrylic or polycarbonate is used together with a circuit design which operates a switch using the user’s natural body capacitance. The switch panel uses a proprietary capacitive sensor...

A new non-mechanical switching system has been developed by Wessex Advanced Switching Products (WASP) and has already been specified by a leading aircraft seat manufacturer. The capacitive switching system has been incorporated in the control system for a new and sophisticated range of seats being used by a major airline in their new Airbus A340 aircraft.

While some UK manufacturers are bemoaning the fact that a lot of manufacturing is heading East, Wessex Advanced Switching Products (WASP), the UK’s only resistive touch screen manufacturer, has found a way of using offshore manufacturing to its own benefit.
