The lab is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including two ultra-fast Creality K1 Max 3D printers, four professional-grade Creality K1C printers, 30 spools of PLA filament, and six high-performance laptops for modeling and printing. The technical implementation is led by the team at 3D Point, which is building a full-fledged digital manufacturing ecosystem.

The official opening took place in early June. As part of the launch event, 3D Point experts conducted a hands-on workshop on 3D modeling, printing, and the development of engineering thinking.

“This 3D lab is a real opportunity for young people and aspiring tech entrepreneurs. It’s a place where they can learn 3D modeling, build their first prototype, gain hands-on skills, and take their first steps in engineering or entrepreneurship. Our goal is to cultivate a community of makers in the region who will drive tech innovation and contribute to the country’s future,” said Aigerim Mazhtai, Regional Manager of Mangystau Hub.

The project is being implemented with strategic support from the Department of Digital Technologies of the Mangystau Region and Polymedia LLP, the technology partner that supplied all the necessary equipment.

An educational program is set to launch soon, featuring masterclasses, workshops, and courses. Participants will be able to explore the fundamentals and advanced techniques of 3D printing, master modern modeling software, and develop their own engineering or startup projects.

According to the organizers, the initiative will contribute to the development of not only the region but the entire country. Mangystau Hub is building a local community of young engineers, inventors, and tech entrepreneurs ready to create startups and develop scalable, innovative products.
