French industrial composite firm Nanoe has officially launched the Zetasinter 4L furnace, with orders opening this month and deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2025.Initially presented at Formnext 2024, this furnace expands Nanoes sinter-based 3D printing portfolio. Designed in partnership with Cerinnov Group, the Zetasinter 4L features a sintering volume of 4 liters, quadrupling the capacity of its predecessor, the Zetasinter tubular furnace.Its larger size supports small production batches and the sintering of bigger components. According to the composite firm, it comes equipped with digital controls and a simplified loading mechanism.Arnaud Hory, CEO of the Cerinnov Group, said, We are truly honored to support Nanoes innovative work and are excited to see how these advanced furnaces will contribute to sintering of metal 3D printed parts. This collaboration exemplifies the power of partnership and shared dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology.The Zetasinter 4L furnace.

This initiative aims to create an open ecosystem for sinter-based 3D printing.Guillaume de Calan, Nanoes CEO, explained that many customers now rely on metal filament 3D printing for applications such as tooling and spare parts. A more user-friendly furnace with greater capacity is intended to meet their growing needs, particularly for medium-sized batches and larger parts.Metal parts fresh out of the Zetasinter 4L furnace.

Priced at 10,000, the 3D printer was unveiled at Formnext 2018, and showcased alongside Stainless Steel 316L Zetamix filaments, expanding material options for users.Three years later, the company introduced H13 Zetamix filament, a high-temperature-resistant steel material valued for its ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance.Compatible with all Fused Filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, this filament is designed to produce complex steel components and tools. When processed in a tubular furnace, it achieves a density exceeding 90%.With this new Zetasinter 4L furnace added to its portfolio, Nanoe aims to strengthen its position in sinter-based 3D printing while addressing the evolving needs of the industry.Technical specifications and pricingAs per Nanoe, the Zetasinter 4L furnace is priced at 25,000.
