A combination furnace that both presses lithium disilicate and fires layered porcelain saves bench space and budget. We line up the press-capable furnaces US Dental Depot stocks — German precision, US-made combos and value imports — side by side, with honest trade-offs, so you buy the right one once.
Flagship multi-stamp press & porcelain furnace · Made in Germany

DEKEMA (Freilassing, Germany, building ceramic furnaces since the 1930s) anchors this comparison. The Austromat 644 is the entry combi: single-piston pressing that cleverly uses ambient pressure — no compressed-air line needed — to press standard rings up to 70 mm diameter under vacuum, on a 7.5" touchscreen. The Austromat 654i G2 is the flagship: electromechanical multi-stamp pressing for multi-color and multi-ingot work, a 10.4" touchscreen, IoT remote control, AutoDry & AUTORITE vibration-free lift and quality management. See all three DEKEMA press ovens side by side on the DEKEMA press oven page.
The VITA Vacumat 6000 MP is VITA's combipress: every firing program of the 6000 M plus pressing of all commercially-available press ceramics. VITA CPress press technology with automatic press-path monitoring and VITA PressControl (it counts the pellets loaded to prevent press errors and muffle damage), VITA AntiCon, AutoAdjust and SpecialClean. Compact German build — 230 × 370 × 630 mm, 19 kg, max 1200°C, up to 1.5 kW, 110V & 230V. It runs on the VITA vPad control unit, and one vPad can drive up to four furnaces.
The IBEX Summit Press is the US-made all-rounder: a combination pressing furnace built on the Radiance Ring muffle that bathes the tray in even heat and never needs temperature calibration. Touchscreen control with mid-program edits and USB transfer, a vacuum pump in the box, 1200 W, max 1200°C / 2200°F, a 3-year warranty and 4,000-hour muffle guarantee, in 110V and 220V.
The WhipMix Pro-Press 200 is the American value pick: 200 firing programs, lead-free RoHS build, a Quick-Cool Jet, the Pro 200 Master Suite PC software and an included vacuum pump, with a 3-year / 3,750-hour warranty in 110V or 220V. It presses e.max®-class ingots and fires layered porcelain, In-Ceram® and Captek™.
The SINOSTEEL New Century rounds out the value end. It isn't a true press — it's a vacuum porcelain furnace that also sinters to 1305°C, with an oil-free vacuum pump included, a lift tray, LED firing graphics and dual 110V / 220V. A practical one-box start for a lab that wants porcelain firing plus zirconia sintering on a budget.
