The Programat EP 3010 is characterized by cost effectiveness and high-quality press and firing results. In addition, the Programat EP 3010 is optimally coordinated with Ivoclar Vivadent press ceramic materials such as IPS e.max Press.

In comparison to its predecessor model EP 3000, the operation of the Programat EP 3010 has become even simpler due to the new colour touch display, the modern icons, the intuitive menu-based navigation and the proven membrane-sealed keypad.

The new QTK2 heating muffle in combination with the SiC bottom reflector ensures homogeneous heat distribution in the firing chamber. As a result, the investment ring is preheated more evenly and reliably. Furthermore, these features enable the user to press difficult-to-press objects, e.g. with very thin marginal areas, and to achieve even higher quality results.

The electronic press drive with force sensor ensures the precise control of the press plunger in the micrometre range. The integrated Crack Detection System (CDS) immediately interrupts the press process if a crack in the investment ring occurs. Therefore, restorations are optimally protected.

As of software version V4.0, the furnaces are equipped with the FPF function, or Fully automatic Press Function. This means that the operator only has to place the investment ring into the press chamber and press the start key. The unit will take care of the rest fully automatically. The new FPF technology significantly simplifies the proven press process. In addition, it increases the reliability of the system and heightens the efficiency of the laboratory. Excellent press results are achieved in no time at all.
