WASP completes construction of Ol Casel service building at Milan Bergamo Airport using Crane 3D printing technology. The structure was printed in seven days with a total project duration of 19 days, utilizing a lime-based material mixture to reduce environmental impact compared to traditional cement. The project involved a collaboration between WASP, EDILCO Srl, and airport operator SACBO S.p.A. to provide a functional rest area and service module for the airport's customs personnel.

This deployment highlights the increasing viability of large-scale construction 3D printing within highly regulated infrastructure environments. By integrating electrical conduits directly into the printed wall geometry, the project demonstrates a reduction in secondary construction labor, a key differentiator against conventional masonry or concrete casting. While competitors like ICON and COBOD focus on residential and multi-story applications, WASP's ability to secure certification for an airport-based structure validates the safety and structural integrity of its modular Crane platform in public-facing, high-security settings.

For construction firms, this project confirms that lime-based materials are now a viable alternative for non-load-bearing or light-infrastructure applications. Future adoption will depend on the ability to standardize these material mixtures to meet local building codes consistently across different jurisdictions. The focus for WASP remains on proving the scalability of its modular printer configuration for rapid, on-site deployment in logistics and industrial parks.
