The present invention is a sintering furnace (1) for a component (15) made of a sintered material, in particular a dental component, comprising a furnace chamber (2) having a furnace chamber volume (VK), a heating device (5), a furnace chamber volume (VK) An accommodation space 9 having a total volume VB located within and abutting the heating device 5, and an available area 10 having an effective volume VN located within the total volume VB are located in the furnace chamber 2 A circumferential wall portion (3) having a wall section (7) to be disposed, the furnace chamber (2) consisting of a plurality of walls and to be opened for introducing the component to be sintered (15) having an object volume (VO) into the receiving space (9) ) It relates to a sintering furnace (1) provided. The heating device 5 comprises a heat radiator 6 with a radiating field 13, the heat radiator 6 being arranged on at least one side of the receiving space 9. At least the effective volume VN arranged in the receiving space 9 is arranged in the radiation field 13 of the radiator 6, and the maximum possible distance of the component to be sintered 15 with respect to the radiator 6 is the maximum effective volume ( It is equal to or less than the second largest dimension (D y) of VN).展开▼
