Hackspace (technical creativity club) opened in Nizhnevartovsk

We will continue our excursions on hackspaces of the world, this time, from the electronics capital of Shenzhen, we will be transferred to the oil capital of Russia - to Nizhnevartovsk, yes, yes, it was here that enthusiasts recently opened a technical and robotic creativity club - hackspace .

Hackspace is a physical place where you can work on your idea in a comfortable work area with various machines and other equipment that can be used to work on projects.

This communication with like-minded people , experts in various fields, with whom you can consult or participate in a joint project. This is an opportunity to attract people to participate in their project or just to get the support of those who are really interested in the field of development. It is also possible to order or purchase on-site various unique components that can not be found in the regular sale.

We learn more about the available equipment, access conditions and projects of club members:

Club organizer - Konstantin Shafranov:



Konstantin on education - a systems engineer.

The laboratory itself has existed for several years, but in private, for several participants and an internal project. But recently they decided to open access to equipment and jobs for all lovers of technical creativity in the city of Nizhnevartovsk - to organize hackspace.

Let's start the tour.

Common table

Like any hackspace, it all starts with a common desktop for discussing projects.

Tools and accessories

Rack with tools that can (and should) be taken and used to create your projects:


The “crumbling” of stepper and servo engines, you see, you don’t often see this in our cities:

Equipment, jobs

Access to all equipment for participants is free .

Computer workplace:


Of course 3d printer (assembled by the participants themselves):


Micro Electronics Workplace

debugging CNC machine.

Laser cutting and engraving machine required for many projects:


For work that requires work with iron, and the use of physical labor is a plumbing workplace :

lathe, emery disc, vice.

Drilling machine:

Projects

CNC machine - created by the participants of the Naxnevartovsk hackspace:


Another working project: the project of a spider-robot for cable laying (we have already seen, on the main one)

And here is the project of a rope-rope approach (successfully passed tests), and preparing for mass production:

The system with radio control is intended for laying communication lines over already existing communications, cables, stretch marks, etc.

I am glad that such clubs are organized in Russia, that the promotion of technical creativity and robotics is being promoted by the people themselves. I would like to wish the Club good luck and development!

Reflections

I think it is no secret to anyone that the basis of the Russian economy is raw materials, and it has long been said about diversification (diversity), and I think robotics can be one of these areas.

For example, in another oil power - the United Arab Emirates - serious attention is being paid to robotics, and in September of this year in Dubai, the first robotic conference will be held throughout the region - Robot Technology Exhibition (RTEX):
