¶ Part Sintering Configurations
The Rapidia Conflux 1 Furnace features an adjustable tray system that can be configured in two ways to optimize the utilization of the retort hot zone depending on part geometry. The two shelf configuration maximizes total area for smaller parts. The single shelf configuration maximizes height, width, and length for larger parts. Details of these configurations are given below.
NOTE: Use green dimensions when determining how to fit your parts on the shelves.
