The Prague high-tech workshop of Josef Průša, the Czech 3D printing entrepreneur, is announcing the
first round of its acceleration programme. It offers innovative hardware projects not only
technological facilities and mentoring, but also an initial investment of up to CZK 150,000.
Makers, artists, companies and startups can apply until 30

first round of its acceleration programme. It offers innovative hardware projects not only

PrusaLab will provide its capacity to projects of a commercial, artistic or educational
nature. The conditions are innovation potential and making the project at least partly available
as open source. Participants will get space to realise their product in the workshop, where they
can make full use of 3D printing technologies, CNC machining centres or, for example, an
industrial laser.
“One of the main assets of the acceleration programme is the diverse team of experts in
digital fabrication who will work on the products. Our team includes experienced electronics
developers, designers, engineers, project managers and, of course, 3D modellers and
printing specialists,” says PrusaLab manager Ondřej Kašpárek.
Applicants can join the programme with products already in development, but also with projects at the
idea stage. The first round of the accelerator can last up to 6 months, during
which PrusaLab is ready to work with the participants to design,
prototype, test and officially launch the resulting product.
The prototyping workshop is launching the programme in response to the coronavirus epidemic, which has made
its existing membership operation impossible. “Before the crisis, a number of members passed through PrusaLab who, thanks to our
facilities, started their own businesses. Our accelerator is a way to reopen the workshop to the Czech creative community
in these difficult times,” adds Kašpárek.
