Sintering is an industrial process for diffusing materials at an atomic level, materials that otherwise would not stick together. Powdered material, including metal ceramic powders, is heated in a mould under pressure until the particles fuse together and create one solid piece. Vesta is an innovative pressure vacuum sintering furnace, aimed as an entry model which can easily be understood, even by beginners. It was also designed to overcome the image of sintering furnaces as dirty industrial machinery covered in oil. To achieve this, Vesta showcases a distinctively elegant appearance. Its flowing lines and overall smooth surface lend it almost architectural expressivity. The overall compact design not only makes it possible to move this furnace into any room without the need for disassembly, it also makes it easy and self-explanatory in operation. The large temperature indicators as well as the intuitive touchscreen allow the entire sintering process to be managed at a single glance. Since the Vesta is also equipped with a fully adjustable monitor and an automatic door, users can work with it in every possible position. The impressively consistent design concept lends the sintering furnace new aesthetics. It makes the process of sintering become transparent and easy to understand even by beginners.
