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:


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:

By carefully following these steps, you can safely transition your 3D printer from CoCr to Titanium, ensuring optimal printing conditions and maintaining material integrity throughout the process.
