Ventspils High Technology Park in cooperation with Aspired opened a prototype Hub in Ventspils, the services of which are currently available to the general public. The aim of the prototype Hub is to promote the development and production of new products and business development in Ventspils, including in the field of educational technologies.


The following services and support is available at the prototype Hub:

  • Technical consultations in the development and production of prototypes and parts, including development of 3D models of parts
  • Manufacture of parts and prototypes
The Prototype Hub expertise covers the following equipment and materials:

Woodworking prototype CNC machine


Computer-controlled cutting of sheet materials. Creates 2D / 3D objects from vector graphics or 3D models, respectively. You can make housings, furniture, design objects, fasteners and everything else that is possible with 2D and 3D cutting of sheet materials. Materials to be processed - plywood, wood, wood veneer, plastics, comatex, etc.

Rapid prototype CNC machine


Light metal and plastic 4-axis CNC machine. The maximum size of the workpiece is 600x400x200mm. Possibility to make various designs from a 3D model with very high precision. Accuracy up to 10 μm. The machine works with high shafts around the rotation, which makes the end surface of the material mirror smooth, eliminating the need for post-processing. It is possible to produce - design parts, mechanical elements, embossing plates, electronics housings and high-reliability product samples.

3D printers


Production of 3D objects using FDM and UV LCD printing technology. A 3D scanner is also available.

Computer software


Solidworks and SolidCam. For technical drawing of 2D / 3D objects and preparation of CNC files.

Soldering station


Soldering of electronic components on printed circuit boards. Soldering of wires and connectors.

Universal drilling / milling machine


"Accessories" for the manufacture of complex products.

Welding equipment


"Stick welding", MIG, TIG with and without gas welding device. For mutual welding of steel structures and parts.

Painting booth

 

"Wet" paint booth for use with a paint gun. In a controlled environment with a low amount of dust and fumes, it is possible to perform post-treatment of parts such as priming, painting, varnishing.

Wide range of hand tools


"Accessories" for the manufacture of complex products.
