The Kiln as a Computational Chamber

Firing ceramics has traditionally been an art of intuition. At CrocTech, we treat the kiln as a thermodynamic computer. By mapping thermal gradients in 3D space, we eliminate thermal shock variations and achieve a perfect 1,280°C vitrification across complex geometric planes.
