Device for obtaining highly porous metallic foams, which are used in metallic materials with a fusion temperature lower than 800°C, by means of the infiltration process. This device may be arranged within a conventional furnace or muffle during the infiltration stage, avoiding the acquisition of an expensive furnace with controlled atmosphere. The fragility of the foams is avoided by not requiring the addition of gasifying agents or agents for increasing the viscosity, since this device is useful for performing the melt inside a conventional furnace. The obtained foams may be used in applications that require the absorption and desorption of gases, heat, energy and mass exchangers, energy and sound absorbers, as well as in the manufacture of biomaterials for replacing parts of bones.
