WASP 60100 HDP — Technical data

The WASP 60100 HDP is WASP's high-temperature pellet printer, first shown at formnext 2022. It fills the gap between the 4070 HDP and the 3MT HDP: the delta build volume measures Ø 600 × 1,000 mm, the bed stays still and only the extruder moves. According to the current manufacturer page, the liquid-cooled HDP extruder reaches 500 °C and delivers up to 500 g/h, while the locally heated FIRECAP chamber reaches 200 °C. Alongside PLA, ABS and recycled granules, WASP therefore lists PEEK, PPS and metal and ceramic feedstocks for MIM and CIM. The machine weighs 300 kg and is 2.55 m tall.

On a used 60100 HDP, high-temperature operation is the main thing to check: the extruder cooling circuit for leaks and coolant level, the heating elements and insulation of the FIRECAP chamber, and the cable routing at the effector. If PEEK or a metal feedstock has been printed, the screw and nozzle wear faster. The vacuum plate should hold parts and release them automatically. Allow for an 8 bar compressor, the 35 l pellet tank and a supply of up to 3.5 kW. Ask whether drying equipment for the granules is included, as engineering plastics need it.
