🚀 Key Features
1. High-Volume Sintering
With a capacity to handle up to 60 single crowns per cycle, Profire is optimized for medium-to-large labs. The chamber accommodates multi-level trays, making batch processing easy and efficient.
2. Intelligent Temperature Control
Its precision-engineered PtRh thermocouple combined with intelligent software ensures accurate ramp-up, hold, and cooldown sequences for each material profile. It’s built to protect materials from thermal shock and warping.
3. Material Flexibility
Compatible with:
- High translucency zirconia
- Cubic zirconia
- Multi-layer zirconia (e.g., CEREC MTL)
- Traditional opaque zirconia
Custom programs allow technicians to input and save specific firing cycles for third-party materials.
4. Touchscreen Control Interface
The intuitive user interface includes:
- Pre-set sintering cycles
- Real-time cycle monitoring
- Maintenance alerts
- Historical logs
5. Durable MoSi2 Heating Elements
These elements are designed for long-term use at high temperatures, withstanding repeated heating cycles with minimal degradation.
🔄 How It Fits into the Workflow
Step-by-Step Integration with CAD/CAM:
Step 1: Digital Design
Create your restoration design in inLab CAD software or import from third-party platforms.
Step 2: Milling
Use the inLab MC X5 or CEREC Primemill to mill your zirconia-based restorations.
Step 3: Drying
Ensure zirconia restorations are fully dried before sintering. A drying unit or dehumidifying box is recommended.
Step 4: Sintering in Profire
- Place restorations on the tray (with proper spacing)
- Select the sintering program
- Start cycle (automated heating, holding, and cooling)
Step 5: Finish & Glaze
Post-sintering, restorations can be characterized, stained, or glazed using SpeedGlaze or CEREC SpeedFire, depending on material type.
