This guide provides a clear and efficient method for switching your 3D printer from CoCr to Titanium.
Titanium requires specific handling, gas atmosphere, and build platform conditions. Following these steps ensures a safe and clean material changeover, minimizing cross-contamination and ensuring print quality in titanium 3D printing.
For a full walkthrough, please refer to our video tutorial.
Steps to Switch from CoCr to Titanium
1. Remove CoCr Powder:
- Empty the 2Create or 2Create Plus system of all CoCr powder. Clean the build chamber thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner (2Clean) and lint-free cloth.
2. Change Filters:
- Replace the exhaust filter, pre-filter, and main filter to ensure clean processing conditions for Titanium.
3. Switch Process Gas:
- Use argon instead of nitrogen. Fill the gas supply accordingly before loading titanium powder.
4. Use the Correct Build Platform:
- Titanium parts must be printed on a titanium build platform. Do not use stainless steel platforms.
5. Load Titanium Powder:
- Fill the machine with titanium powder as per the system guidelines.
6. Set Process Parameters:
- Download and apply the dedicated titanium printing parameters via the 2Connect platform.
7. Stress Relief:
- After printing, place the parts in a furnace for stress relief. Use the recommended parameters provided by 2onelab.
