A programmable system and methods for spark plasma sintering. Embodiments of the present invention allow for detailed waveform settings to be programmed by an operator prior to machine operation during a SPS process. The waveform settings for the machine can be adjusted at any point and can be programmed to have any pattern during the SPS process. Out-gassing patterns can be monitored and analyzed by an operator, who then adjusts the waveform settings for the SPS machine based on an analysis of the out-gassing patterns.
