The Cerec SpeedFire is an all-in-one high-temperature furnace for use in dental practices. By applying innovative technologies, the sintering of zirconium oxide and the firing of dental ceramics can be combined in one furnace. The induction technology applied here allows the fastest heating rates, enabling the sintering of zirconium oxide restorations in less than 15 minutes. The dentist is thus able to provide patients with restorations from this material in a single treatment session. The device is operated via a separate control panel that features a touchscreen.
Statement by the Jury
The furnace presents a successful combination of an open and closed design, as well as rounded and austere lines, thus creating a fascinating tension of form.
