Oval Design Tailored for Varied Artistic Needs
The kiln's distinctive oval design, combined with robust 3” brick walls and an additional 2" layer of blank brick for extra insulation, makes it ideal for wide or irregularly shaped pieces. This design not only improves the kiln's efficiency but also adds durability, making it a reliable tool for artists looking to push creative boundaries.

Advanced Construction for Peak Performance
The 3018HE is built with Olympic’s signature electrical box design, featuring heat shields to maintain optimal component temperatures. With strategically placed heating elements, the kiln ensures uniform heat distribution—critical for consistent, professional-quality results.

State-of-the-Art Features for Artistic Precision
The 3018HE comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, offering precise control over firing cycles. The KilnStar controller is known for its ease of use, allowing artists to program detailed firing schedules with features such as delay start, preheat, and cone offset. This intuitive system ensures that every firing is tailored to your specific artistic needs.

For artists seeking more advanced functionality, the Genesis touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. The Genesis provides an enhanced user experience with a modern interface and expanded programming capabilities, giving you even greater control over your firing process.

Customizable Options for Fine Artistic Detailing
The 3018HE can be further customized to meet your specific artistic needs.

Pottery Pulse is available to assist with any additional customization options you may need.

Versatile Applications Beyond Ceramics
While the 3018HE excels in ceramics and pottery, its versatility extends to glasswork and other heat-treating tasks. The kiln can be fitted with an optional dual-media lid element, allowing artists to seamlessly transition between different mediums, expanding their creative repertoire.

Adding Solid State Relays is also recommended for optimal performance. These relays offer quieter, more precise operation while enhancing the longevity of the kiln, making them a valuable addition for artists working across multiple disciplines.
