Metal Cutting.
Redefined.
An affordable desktop plasma CNC machine that brings metal rapid prototyping to your workshop. Same workflow as a 3D printer.
[ Currently in Development ]
Industrial Power.
Desktop Footprint.
We're building a desktop plasma CNC that packs industrial cutting capability into the size of a box. Design in CAD, export, cut — the same workflow you know from 3D printing, now for metal.
Any Metal
Steel, aluminium, stainless — if it conducts, it cuts.
1–20mm Thickness
From sheet metal to heavy plate, one machine handles it all.
1000 × 500mm Work Area
Enough space for real parts, not just demos.
[ Workflow ]
Three Steps. Real Parts.
Design
Create your part in any CAD software. Export as DXF or SVG — the formats you already use.
Load
Import your file, set material thickness and type. The software handles toolpaths automatically.
Cut
Hit start. Watch plasma arc through metal at thousands of degrees. Part done in minutes.
[ Specifications ]
Built to Cut.
Full-size parts on a desktop machine. Enough workspace for brackets, panels, enclosures — real production parts.

[ About Pilotarc ]
A Startup. A Mission.
Made in Germany.
We're a small team based in Kassel, Germany. We're not a corporation — we're engineers who got tired of waiting for someone else to build the machine we needed. So we're building it ourselves.
Pilotarc is still in active development. Every week we cut, test, break things, and iterate. We're sharing the journey openly — and we want you along for the ride.
