Distortion is one of the main problems encountered in AM processes. Proper heat treatment is, therefore, crucial for obtaining high-quality products. High-vacuum furnaces provides reliable heat treatment conditions in every process.
Apart from metal 3D printing post-processing, vacuum furnace is an obligatory equipment in many scientific and industrial laboratories. Vacuum furnace applications include:

Core benefits & features
Hot zone specification
Hot zone materials – heaters and thermal screens – vary depending on the maximum furnace temperature requirements:
1200 °C: molybdenum heaters and thermal screens. Processing example: stress relief in Ti-based alloys
1600 °C: tantalum heaters and tungsten thermal screens. Processing example: sintering of refractory alloys
For both temperature options there are two hot zone sizes available:
Φ120 mm x 100 mm height – compatible with small build plate 3D printers,
Φ200 mm x 200 mm height – compatible with popular medium-sized build plate 3D printers.
In all setups, hot zone vacuum down to 10-2 mbar is reached with the preliminary pump. Then, the high-vacuum pump takes over to reach vacuum levels of 2×10−7 mbar (with a turbomolecular pump) or 3×10−9 mbar (with an ionization pump).
Choose the setup for your needs
inFurner features various hot zone dimensions compatible with popular printers, and options that allow to expand furnace possibilities.
