With its integrated technology[1] the Programat® CS6 combines sintering, crystallizing and glazing in a single device and minimizes process times. This means you can focus more on your patients while your chairside restorations are completed quickly and reliably.
Designed for the use in dental practices:
Compact. Efficient. Universal.
New opening mechanism
The new, innovative opening mechanism of the Programat CS6 accelerates the predrying process, offering further time savings. With the new opening mechanism, the warm air arising from the firing chamber can be used to dry restorations from underneath.
Specially developed vacuum technology[1]
The integrated vacuum technology[1] accelerates the sintering process in the Programat CS6, while enhancing the esthetics of your zirconia restorations at the same time. Addionally, the vacuum function optimizes the crystallization and glazing process.
Temperature calibration
You have full control over the temperature in the Programat CS6 and achieve consistently reliable results. Temperature calibration can be easily performed on-site in your practice.
Colour touchscreen
Operating the Programat CS6 is quick and straightforward. The modern, full-colour touchscreen is intuitive and durable, making it ideal for use in a dental practice.
LED status display
The Optical Status Display (OSD) located at the furnace base allows you to easily check the current operating status of your furnace. The OSD uses different colours to indicate the progress of the process, giving you a clear overview of key updates at a glance.

The quick and easy route to your IPS e.max restorations
The Programat CS6 is the ideal solution for dental practices that focus on enhancing efficiency and saving space. With its smart, compact design, the furnace seamlessly adapts to your practice's needs without taking up valuable space. Despite its compact design, this multi-use furnace can reach tempertatures of up to 1,560 °C (2,840 °F). Its optimized firing chamber speeds-up the firing cycle, delivering even more esthetic results.
In addition to the pre-installed programs for Ivoclar materials, programs for third-party materials can also be easily set up. No matter which material you choose, the Programat CS6 helps you achieve your goal quickly. The specially developed vacuum technology accelerates the sintering process and optimizes crystallization and glazing. Our VP3 easy and VP5 vacuum pumps are the ideal addition to the Programat CS6.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Programat CS6
The Programat CS6 is designed as an open system, meaning you are not limited to proprietary materials. In addition to the pre-installed programs optimized for Ivoclar materials such as all ceramics blocks IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime, you can easily set up custom programs for third-party materials. This flexibility allows for a wide range of material choices while still achieving fast and reliable results.
Yes, the Programat CS6 is perfectly suited for chairside dentistry. It’s designed to support same-day or single-visit restorations, seamlessly integrating into your digital workflow. This makes it an ideal choice for practices focused on efficiency and high-quality outcomes in a single appointment.
Traditional lab furnaces are designed for dental laboratory environments, offering a wide variety of programs and material choices to accommodate diverse clinical needs and complex patient cases. However, they typically feature slower firing cycles and are optimized for more complex workflows. In contrast, the Programat CS6 is purpose-built for chairside use, enabling fast, same-day restorations with a user-friendly interface and accelerated processing times — ideal for single-visit dentistry.
The Programat CS6 features a specially developed vacuum technology that significantly enhances the sintering, crystallization, and glazing processes. This technology not only accelerates processing times but also improves the overall quality and consistency of the restorations. A vacuum pump is mandatory for the operation of the Programat CS6. For optimal performance and compatibility, we recommend using the VP3 easy or VP5 vacuum pumps, both of which are ideally suited to support the furnace’s advanced functionality.
The Programat CS6 ensures precise temperature calibration for accurate and reproducible results. Temperature control is both reliable and easy to manage, with on-site calibration capabilities that help maintain consistent firing outcomes across different material types.
