Why Additive Manufacturing Teams Choose Vaniman
🛡️ Class II, Division 2 Vacuum
Powder-based 3D printing employs fine particulates that need to be recaptured and managed carefully. Vaniman systems are designed to help control dust and powder at the source, with additional protections against sparks or electrostatic discharge. The StoneVac AM is a Class II, Division 2 vacuum that syncs with your printer (remote and pre-filter cyclone Accumulator included).
⚙️ Built for High-Volume Use
The StoneVac AM was designed to meet the demands of high-production powder bed 3D printers and features a long-lasting, high-capacity brushless motor for heavy use. Its brushless motor is designed to last thousands of hours, with a self-cleaning feature that automatically activates every four hours of use.
♻️ Easy Powder Recovery
A bagless dust bin in the unit and powder bucket on the included ESD-resistant accumulator make powder recovery simple, easy, and effective.
🇺🇸 American Quality
Vaniman units are assembled by hand in the USA and backed by experienced support from our Southern California based team.
Powder Recovery for 3D Printing
The StoneVac AM is a powerful StoneVac dust collector capable of handling heavier dust, powder, and particulates from additive manufacturing processes, for both the printing itself and post-print parts processing. It was designed for powder bed 3D printing materials, including metals, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, and more.
