It also means we don’t underproduce, as underproduction means lost opportunity,” Hassett said. “We use powdered plastics like nylon at the moment. We’re also looking at more sustainable polymers from natural sources. Every product that we produce is sliced into thousands of layers with a laser to create the finished product.” The process is visually arresting: as powders are merged together to form the finished piece, such as an artistic model of a hand the business created for Ikea. The loose powder gathers in a form of cube around the end design when emerging from the printer. A light tap, and it falls away to reveal the finished piece. Hassett and Kobal, who is from Ukraine, first met while working together on a business in Poland. They developed the basic idea for Wazp while there, but Hassett found the combination of support and skills in Ireland were more suited to growing the business. “I was on a one-week holiday back home and someone suggested to me to talk to Enterprise Ireland. Within two weeks we were accepted to the New Frontiers programme in Tralee and we haven’t looked back since. We’re in the high potential start-up unit, although we’re nearly at the end of that programme,” he said. The project with Ikea began in 2017, delivering the hand model to 50 per cent of its stores worldwide. Since then, the business has become more focused on direct-to-consumer sales, with a site in Germany to enable shipping directly to customers there. The project is currently being expanded to the Nordics to enable more direct to consumer sales in those markets. “The world is realising that there need to be more agile supply chains that are less susceptible to disruption. That’s what we’ve been building,” Hassett said.
