Shaping a sintered stone slab into a sintered stone sink involves a careful process that requires precise temperature control and specialized equipment. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• Design and Preparation: Create a detailed design of the desired sink shape, including dimensions, curves, and any intricate details. Ensure the design is compatible with the bending furnace’s capabilities.
• Slab Preparation: Select a high-quality sintered stone slab that is free of defects or cracks. Clean the slab thoroughly to remove any impurities or contaminants.
• Heating the Slab: Place the sintered stone slab into the bending furnace and gradually heat it to the appropriate softening temperature. This temperature varies depending on the specific sintered stone composition.
• Bending Process: Once the slab reaches the softening temperature, automatically manipulate it to achieve the desired sink shape. The bending process should be done slowly and precisely to avoid cracking or damage.

• Annealing Process: After the sink shape is formed, allow the sintered stone to cool slowly within the furnace. This annealing process helps to relieve stress and ensure the sink retains its shape.
• Finishing and Polishing: Once the sink has cooled completely, remove it from the furnace and perform any necessary finishing or polishing to achieve the desired surface texture and appearance.
• Quality Control: Inspect the finished sintered stone sink for any imperfections or defects. Ensure the sink meets all design specifications and quality standards.
• Installation: Follow proper installation procedures to securely mount the sintered stone sink in its intended location.

Remember that shaping sintered stone requires specialized equipment and expertise. It is advisable to seek the assistance of qualified professionals to ensure the safe and proper operation of the bending furnace and to achieve the desired results.
