The Benchmark in Industrial Sintering Technologies & Solutions

Whether you are defining a process in the lab or ramping up full-scale production, Elnik industrial batch furnaces are essential to your metal parts operation. Our commitment to innovation and engineering excellence drive our passion to share in your success as partners and problem solvers.

MIM3000 Series

The most versatile industrial batch furnace for the metal injection molding (MIM) market.

AM3000 Series

Engineered for sinter-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies & materials.

GRAPH MIM2000

Based on a graphite hotzone & retort for ultimate functionality and performance. 

AM3000 Series

The AM3000 is positioned as a large-batch debind and sinter furnace optimized for sinter-based additive manufacturing applications. Especially well suited for metal binder jetting, LMM, additive screen printing and other bound metal AM processes that produce green parts needing controlled heat treatment.

MIM3000 Series

The MIM3000 Series furnaces are designed primarily for debinding and sintering metal injection molded parts in a single consolidated process, commonly referred to as a “one-step” thermal cycle. This replaces older multi-furnace workflows and reduces part handling.

GRAPHMIM2000 Series

Graph MIM2000 is a series of graphite-based debinding and sintering furnaces manufactured by Elnik Systems. These furnaces are designed to process metal injection molded (MIM) parts by consolidating second-stage debinding and sintering into a single, automated cycle without requiring parts to be moved between steps.

Catalytic Debind 3000 Series

The Catalytic Debind Oven is a dedicated catalytic debinding system designed specifically for polyacetal (POM) binder removal used in Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and sinter-based metal additive manufacturing feedstocks. Designed fully in Stainless Steel with simplicity of use and process management, it's the most complementary piece to the ELNIK Systems portfolio.
