Abstract
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.
