Vito and others in RP product development,
You may want to contact Allan Quick, CEO/Pres./Founder of KryoTech in
Columbia, SC. Allan is formerly with NCR Corp. and has been
commercializing a technology they call "KryoCooling" primarily focused on
PC/Workstation/Mainframe computing. Depending on requirements, they are
increasing PC Microprocessor speed by as much as 100% and can achieve
cooling levels approaching absolute Zero, if the depending on end user
requirements (I believe). Their integrated systems are relatively
inexpensive and are being seamlessly integrated into the H/W Towers...

Knowing that heat is a problem in may RP and even CNC Prototyping processes
(esp. on Waxes), KryoTech might be able to help, esp. as they grow. Their
the first graduate of the USC College of Engineering's new incubator
program. Chris.
