FabLab UrFU: when state initiatives are useful

It seems that very soon Ekaterinburg will become an ideal city for the start of hardware projects. Here, even the government initiative can bring considerable benefits to the emerging business. It is only necessary to know the passwords and appearance. We are happy to open one of such appearances for you today. Under the cut more than 25 clickable photos (traffic!). Ready?

"Innovation-innovative center for prototyping and prototyping of Ural Federal University" is located in Yekaterinburg at ul. Komsomolskaya, d.61. We pass through the hall, past the guard, we need office number 102.

Turn left.



We enter a large bright room. It all starts pretty simple and harmless. Two tables. Soldering stations ERSA 2000A Micro + ERSA I-CON2000A. Microscope.







But behind them there is already heavy artillery. Site of manufacturing prototypes of printed circuit boards.

LPKF Laser & Electronics Equipment Complex

Opens a complex drilling and milling plotter LPKF ProtoMat S43. Rotational speed of 40,000 rpm. The maximum moving speed is 150 mm / s (about 6 ”/ s).



Dust removal system. Vacuum table. Measuring microscope. A set of cutters.



Hydraulic press for laboratory manufacturing of multilayer boards LPKF Multipress S. Behind it you can see the convection reflow oven LPKF Protoflow E.



The press hydraulics is activated by applying muscular strength to such a thing:



The site of soldering and preparation of the product for frying in a convection oven. Device for manual installation of components of printed circuit boards LPKF ProtoPlace E. Soldering station ERSA I-CON2000A. Machine for applying solder paste LPKF ProtoPrint-E.



Developer to work with photoresist LPKF-117050.

Test Equipment

Laboratory power supply GW INSTEK GPS-3303. Electric Power Meter GW INSTEK GPM-8212. Digital Storage Oscilloscope GW INSTEK GDS-2202. High-frequency generator G4-218 / 1. Immitance meter GW INSTEK LCR-816.



Digital signal analyzer (here we will clarify the functionality later) based on the NI PXle-1082 chassis.

Industrial 3D printing

Concluding a circle around the room we come across such a monster. ZPrinter 650 is engaged here in inkjet printing from gypsum polymer (3DP technology). Size of construction area: 254x381x203 mm. Layer thickness: 0.1 mm. Color: CMYK.



Principle of operation: applying a layer of gypsum, full-color printing with a special polymer, vertical downward movement of the platform, repetition of the sequence of actions. Camera print:



Finished product cleaning chamber:



This is the beauty that results from the operation of the printer:









We remind you that we have Vkontakt-group open. Join it, ask questions, suggest ideas. Are looking forward to.
