Hackspace (club of technical creativity) opened in Nizhnevartovsk

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

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

This is 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 your project or just get the support of those who are really interested in the field of development. There is also the opportunity to order or purchase on site various unique components that cannot be found on regular sale.

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

Club organizer - Konstantin Shafranov:



Konstantin is a systems engineer by training.

The laboratory itself existed for several years, but in a closed mode, for several participants and the 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 hack space.

Let's start the tour.

Common table

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

Tools and accessories

A rack with tools that you can (and need) to take and use to create your projects:


“Loose powder” of stepper and servo motors, you must admit - you don’t often see this in our cities:

Equipment, jobs

Access to all equipment for participants is free .

Computer workstation:


Of course, a 3D printer (assembled by the participants themselves):


Workplace for classes with micro-electronics

debugging the CNC machine.

A laser cutting and engraving machine


, which is necessary for many projects : For work where work with iron is required and the use of physical labor is a locksmith's workplace :

a lathe, an emery disk, a vice.

Drilling machine:

Projects

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


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

And here is a project of a rope-walker (successfully tested), and getting ready for serial production:

A system with a radio control is designed for laying communication lines on existing communications, cables, extensions, etc.

Reflections

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

For example, in another oil country - the UAE - serious attention is paid to robotics, and in September this year in Dubai the first robotic conference will be held within the entire region - Robot Technology Exhibition (RTEX):
