With a maximum working temperature of 1700°C, the furnace is capable of handling high-temperature sintering requirements for advanced additive manufacturing materials. Its 36-liter chamber offers generous space for batch processing, making it suitable for research and small-scale production.

Key Features Tailored for 3D Printing Applications

• High-Temperature Capability (Up to 1700°C):
  Equipped with MoSi₂ (Molybdenum Disilicide) heating elements, the furnace ensures stable performance and precise temperature control during sintering and debinding of high-performance printed parts.

• Large 36L Chamber:
  The spacious chamber supports processing of multiple parts simultaneously or large-format components, enhancing productivity in post-printing workflows.

• Vertical Standalone Design – No Additional Table Required:
  Unlike conventional box furnaces, this unit features a freestanding vertical structure, eliminating the need for a bench or support table. It saves space and simplifies installation, especially in laboratory environments.

• Ergonomic 43° Tilted Control Panel:
  The slanted front-mounted digital controller is positioned at a 43-degree viewing angle, offering excellent ergonomics and ease of operation. Users can monitor and program thermal profiles comfortably, even during extended use.

• Exhaust Chimney for Safe Debinding:
  A built-in ventilation chimney on the furnace roof allows effective evacuation of binder vapors and processing gases during thermal debinding, helping to maintain a cleaner and safer workspace.

• Efficient Operation with Low Maintenance Costs:
  The furnace is built with high-efficiency insulation materials that minimize heat loss and power consumption. The robust MoSi₂ heating elements offer long service life and easy replacement, keeping maintenance requirements low.
