Disclosed herein are particulate separation systems including a filter device that separates particulates from a particulate-laden stream generated by an additive manufacturing apparatus. A collection container is also included which is fluidly connected to the filter device and receives the particulates separated from the particulate-laden stream. A fill level sensor is further included which is fluidly connected to the collection container and detects a pressure change from displacement of an inert gas by the particulates received in the collection container.

Fill level sensing devices and additive manufacturing apparatuses including same

Powder module () for an apparatus for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, the powder module () comprising a powder chamber () having a power chamber volume () and a carrying device (), the carrying device () comprising: a carrying unit () being moveably supported along a motion axis between a first position, particularly a lower end position, and a second position, particularly an upper end position, relative to the powder chamber (), a drive unit () for generating a drive force for moving the carrying unit () between the first position and the second position or vice versa, a coupling unit () for coupling the carrying unit () with the drive unit (), and a second extension state, particularly corresponding to the second position of the carrying unit (), a guiding unit () surrounding the coupling unit ().
