The oven is part of the PDMS casting station which includes Sylgard 184, low-temperature vacuum ovens and a high-temperature oven (up to 200°C), a vacuum jar, scale and a plasma generator for casting & assembling PDMS-based fluidic devices. 

Capabilities
  • Heating up to 200°C without a vacuum.
  • Oven is not very accurate because of the temperature probe port in the top.
Applications
  • Curing PDMS 
  • Outgassing 3D-printed devices (at 45 C or lower)
  • Dehydrating hard materials
  • hard-baking SU-8 devices
