You spend all that time shaping a piece at high heat, only for it to snap the second it hits a cold spot. It&rsquo;s frustrating. One wrong move during cooling and the whole part is scrap. That&rsquo;s why we use short-wave infrared (IR) lamps for &ldquo;instant tempering.&rdquo; They&rsquo;re just faster. Way faster than those old resistive heaters that take forever to warm up or cool down.</p>
