"It might just be the precursor to the next industrial revolution and slowly but surely, 3D printing is expanding its presence into the realm of manufacturing. Now it seems that one of the first major industries to benefit from 3D printing is the same one that spawned the assembly line revolution - the automotive industry. Israeli company Stratasys, already a major player in the field and its subsidiary, RedEye On Demand, will be part of a project aimed at putting the first 3D printed car on the roads within two years, in partnership with KOR EcoLogic. "A future where 3D printers build cars may not be far off after all. There is a vision for a more fuel-efficient car that would change the world . URBEE 2, the name of the car, shows the manufacturing world that anything really is possible. There are few design challenges [3D printing] capabilities can't solve.""

In this tutorial, we are going to tell you the steps of creating and printing a single envelope. Also, you can save it for future use.

With the penny gone and the triumph of plastic over paper bills only months away, the research and development department of the Royal Canadian Mint has proposed going one step further: the death of hard currency altogether.

Whenever you install something in Mac OS X then it gets installed from package files. Along with installing something from package files, a "Bill of Materials" file is stored in the package receipt file. These ".bom" files contain a list of the files installed by that package as well as the proper permissions for each file. But, in future, these permissions can get changed resulting in freezing or crashing of your Mac.
