The world’s largest delta 3D printer – standing at 12 meters tall – is no longer just a research project but it is now a reality, entirely made in Italy. The team behind this project is WASP, a Ravenna based enterprise.

By 2030, international estimates foresee a rapid growth of adequate housing requirements for over 4 billion people living with yearly income below $3,000. The United Nations calculated that over the next 15 years there will be an average daily requirement of 100,000 new housing units to meet this demand.
In this contest WASP proposes a vision that goes well beyond that of low cost housing. It’s the MakerEconomy, a new model where everything can be self manufactured through shared solutions. These leverage on 3D printing and are tied to meeting life’s primary necessities: work, health and housing.
