Why do you need a sintering furnace? As 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing process develop technology continues to evolve, and so too will the role of heat treating and sintering ovens. Collaborative efforts between AM equipment manufacturers, material scientists, and heat treating specialists will likely lead to the development of even more sophisticated heat treatment solutions. We customize solutions to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by new materials and advanced 3D printing processes. Our sintering ovens, kilns, and sintering furnaces are not just tools for post-processing in 3D printing; they are catalysts for strength and functionality. By enabling the consolidation and sintering of metal powders through metallurgy, enhancing the properties of resins, improving the stability of thermoplastics, and curing advanced ceramic materials, heat treating empowers AM to create high-performance parts that push the boundaries of design and functionality.

Heat Treating for Powder Metallurgy: HeatTreatNow.com offers kilns specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with various 3D printing workflows. The specific heat treatment parameters and furnace configurations can vary depending on the metal powder used and the desired final properties of the part.
Unlocking the Potential of Metal Printing / AM: Several metal AM techniques, including metal sintering and binder jetting, rely on heat treatment for part consolidation. Industrial kilns provide the high-temperature cycles necessary to fuse and sinter metal particles, transforming them from a loose powder into a solid and robust metal structure.
Resin/Thermoplastics: While not always essential, heat treatments can be used with some 3D printed resins for post-processing. Heat treatment can enhance the mechanical properties of the resin, such as improving its strength and heat resistance.
Advance Ceramics: Specific heat treatment processes can be used with 3D printed ceramic materials to cure the material, relieve internal stresses and improve dimensional stability. This can be particularly beneficial for parts requiring a high degree of accuracy or those that will be exposed to heat during their application.
