     Ooooohh! I know, I know! Being a ceramist, I know that Lindburg is
     a Furnace manufacturer. I'm most familiar with their high temperature
     furnaces (~1600 C) - high enough to post process your RapidTool to
     vapor.

     DTM's RapidSteel material is a bimetallic composite consisting of
     steel and copper. Copper melts in the 1100C range, and steel melts
     above 1500C. I don't believe that any RapidSteel will be vaporizing
     in the Lindberg furnaces which DTM sells to customers for the
     postprocessing of RapidTool core/cavity sets.
