TAV Vacuum Furnaces manufactured a customized vacuum furnace for a research center in the nuclear field. The furnace, which has useful dimensions of 13.8 inches (350 mm) wide x 15.7 (400 mm) inches high x 13.8 (350 mm) inches long, has a maximum temperature rating of 3992°F (2200°C). It represents a solution for advanced ceramics and metallic parts already realized with the additive-manufacturing process. The goal of this project was to create a laboratory furnace using the standards normally applied in the industrial field.

The furnace also includes: a compact cooling system that guarantees high cooling performances; a large-dimension pumping group that allows fast chamber evacuations and high-vacuum working levels; a computerized SCADA system that allows complete control and installation supervision.
