CSP (Centro SviluppoProgetti)was born about twentyyears ago outofthebrilliantmind of
Massimo Moretti,and thiscompanydealswiththedevelopmentofinnovativeprojects.As
backgroundtothis birthlaysa50years lasting experience:since Massimo was achild, he
used to observe hisfatherworking intheworkshop,and was fascinatedby thatsmall world
which enablestocreate nished parts starting from therawmaterial;they built toys together,
learninghow to dothem.
The companyis marked by thecontinuoussearchof brand new ideas andprojects tobe
developed.Thisbusiness iscentred on newinnovative ideas,curiosityand research arethe
main characteristicsof every projectdeveloped by Massimo and his team.
WASPisCSP,CentroSviluppoProgetti,isuniversity,isresearch,is passion.These elementsare
perfectly integrated andcombinedtogether in order towork for Makersresearchand innovation.
The nalproducts are printingand milling machines, which aim also to make a betterworld.
This approach allows usersto build on theirown objectsaccording totheir imagination, by
creating themin3D using CAD softwareorby downloading open source projectsfrom internet.
This project is self- nanced by producing small but versatileand low cost 3Dprinters, and at
the sametime thespreadoftechnologiesand knowledges can support micro-enterprisesand
change theattitudetowardsthe work, justby creating it.
Craftsmen, creativepeople,hobbyists, laboratories,schools, everybody can haveaccess to
advanced technologieslike 3Ddrawing and printing, computernumeric controlmachining
