Programat S1

The Programat S1 is a light-weight and compact sintering furnace for the sintering of frameworks made of IPS e.max ZirCAD and other ZrO₂ materials. Its particular advantage is the short processing time, which positively affects the fabrication time of zirconium oxide crown and bridge frameworks as well as the energy consumption.

With the Programat S1, long sintering processes are a thing of the past. It sinters single-tooth frameworks of zirconium oxide material in 90 minutes. Conventional sinter furnaces usually take five to eight hours for this process. What does a short sintering process mean for the laboratory? Crowns and bridges with a zirconium oxide framework can be fabricated in one work day (including veneer). The short sintering process does not jeopardize the high material strength and accuracy of fit of the restoration, as scientific investigations have shown. Furthermore, less power is used. With the introduction of the power-saving Programat S1 furnace, Ivoclar Vivadent successfully continues its line of furnaces featuring the Power Saving Technology.
