SINTERFOX (Additive Manufacturing – Metal Powder)

The new CREMER SINTERFOX continuous walking beam sintering furnace series is based on our well established MIM Master furnace technology.

Whereas the MIM Master and MIM Master Neo are optimized for the thermal treatment of MIM parts, the SINTERFOX furnace technology is specifically adapted for the continuous dewaxing and sintering of metal powder additive manufacturing parts, for example parts produced with the metal binder jetting (MBJ) additive manufacturing method.

The SINTERFOX furnace design is characterized by a low-vibration ultra-smooth charge tray movement and a high production capacity. For more information, please refer to the description of our MIM Master and MIM Master Neo furnace lines.

Customer Reviews

… the care and attention expressed in the craftsmanship of our new furnace gives me the impression we are taking ownership of a modern piece of manufactured “artwork” more so than one highly engineered UHT furnace!
