Abstract The work described in this paper investigates the possibility to use a vacuum furnace in DTM's RapidTool LR process. This alternative process route is brought about to allow the usage of a more common type of furnace than the one recommended by DTM. Based on the specified, well established H2/N2 furnace processing, a similar procedure, adapted to conventional cold wall vacuum furnaces has been developed and tested. The testing is described in detail, and the results so far are promising enough to justify the practical usage of this process, and more of in-depth analysis of all the various aspects of the procedure.
