The latest from the DEVELOP3D Blog:
An innovative umbrella that is sure to be a crowd pleaser
Published 17 May 2013
Posted by Tanya Weaver

If there is one product that a Brit never leaves home without it’s an umbrella.
Although a conventional umbrella is fine if you have to dash out to get a sandwich or get to your parked car but what if you have to stand for long periods, say at a sporting event?
This is exactly the predicament Stephen Collier found himself in at last year’s Grand National when the weather literally rained on his parade. Feeling rather soggy and wind blown he hatched a plan for a new type of umbrella, modeled on a motorbike helmet.
We’re five years old… what next?

So, we found out that this is our fifth year in print (they’re all here to download).
Imagine that. Five years.
Enough to get a child into school, enough time to pretty much travel the world (which I think we’ve about all done - Phileas Fogg might have beaten us to it). But as ever when you start up a company, you have an idea, a plan and you execute it.
Yet does that mean that you stop changing what you do and how you do it? That’s what I’m pondering, sat in the office, waiting for summer to arrive.
So I figured I’d ask you, our dear readers, what should we do next? Anything that we should change, anything that we should be doing differently, anything that you think we’re doing a bad job of?

Dell extends Precision workstation line at the low and high-end

The new compact Dell Precision T1700 SFF, pictured alongside two 24-inch Dell UltraSharp U2413 displays
Dell has launched two new CAD-focused workstations at opposite ends of the spectrum: an entry-level desktop machine and a high-end rack workstation. Both come with bold claims.
The Dell Precision T1700 small form-factor (SFF) is said to be the smallest tower workstation chassis in its class, measuring a mere 290mm x 92.6mm x 312mm.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Dell Precision R7610 is claimed to be the world’s most powerful rack workstation.

This month we reflect on the excitement that was DEVELOP3D Live – check out the post show site for images and videos of the day.
Elsewhere in the magazine we investigate the pioneering marvels of future 4D printing technology; uncover the legal issues behind 3D printing and intellectual property, and pitch architects against designers in a battle over sustainability, plus all the latest news, reviews and jobs.

The May cover story:
With the ambition of creating the world’s lightest electric vehicle, three Stanford University engineering graduates founded Boosted Boards, an electric-powered longboard capable of over 20mph.
