Are IR ovens effective in heating only flat surfaces?

Flat surfaces are ideally suited to heating by IR radiation. They can be heated rapidly and effectively in an IR oven. However more complex, three dimensional shapes can also be heated in IR ovens. Three-dimensional parts can be rotated so that all sides are evenly exposed to radiation as they pass through the oven. The heating rate can also be varied from zone to zone to allow sufficient soak time to heat internal regions of a part.
