American company, Alfa Motor Corporation has introduced a rugged offroad electric utility vehicle into their vehicle line-up. The SUPERREX is designed to bring spaciousness utility and versatility to a EV focused on adventure experiences. Behind this new design is the smart engineering from Alfa to create a modular vehicle platform that is highly flexible and can be used for many different vehicle designs due to its use of common architecture, componentry and systems.

Making a better welder might not jump to everyone’s mind but this new innovative MIG welder from YesWelder has novices picking up the welding torch and welding like a pro. The Firstess DP200 (Currently being launched on kickstarter) has taken on the difficult and steep learning curve in welding. Their new product not only improves the welding quality with dual pulse MIG (provides a finer weld quality) but makes it easier for users to understand and adjust their weld settings on the go with its new LCD screen that taps into intelligent weld recommendations and settings based on gas, material, diameter (of sticks) and thickness of material. As a novice stick welder myself this product really has me excited to up my welding skills and take on new welding projects as I’m sure will be the same allure for many other hobby welders out there.

TriMax has launched (Kickstarter campaign) their design of a multi screen laptop for improved productivity. There have been numerous attempts to multi screen laptops over the last decade from big brands through to new competitors. Unfortunately there has been little interest beyond niche industries that require multiple screens for activities such as data logging or on the go wide displays. Trimax however has a concept that has achieved a slim design that operates well whilst not being too chunky as predecessors have been. The addition of the two 10 inch screens improves the display space available and would be useful to many professionals across the creative, data, finance and other industries.
