Markforged recommends heat treating A2 Tool Steel to optimize material properties, though it can be used as-sintered. Heat A2 Tool Steel part in a standard (non-vacuum) furnace to 970\u00b0C (1780\u00b0F). Hold part at temperature for 30-45 minutes. Air quench part to below 65\u00b0C (150 \u00b0F). Double temper A2 Tool Steel part in a standard furnace. For each temper, heat part to 150-550\u00b0C (302-1022\u00b0F) and temper for 2 hours, or 1 hour per inch of thickness.
