Product - Arc 1
Arc 1 is a fully enclosed desktop plasma cutter that combines industrial power with plug-and-play simplicity.
Powered by smart sensors, lidar alignment, and camera guidance, Arc 1 delivers automated cutting for metals from 1 mm to 20 mm — all inside a compact, DHL-sized system built for R&D departments and private creators alike.
Product
Arc 1 is a fully enclosed desktop plasma cutter designed for both R&D environments and private creators. It brings industrial-grade cutting power to the desktop in a compact, plug-and-play system.
The closed casing ensures clean, safe operation while maintaining precise performance across metals from 1 mm up to 20 mm. Every component — from airflow to motion control — is engineered for reliability and ease of use.
Compact enough to fit in a DHL-sized box, yet powerful enough for serious fabrication, Arc 1 defines a new category of smart metalworking systems.

Software
The Arc 1 software connects directly to the machine through cloud or local control, offering a seamless workflow from design to cutting. It’s built to run on any laptop, tablet, or phone — no setup, no drivers, just connect and start.
Powered by AI, the system automatically optimizes tool paths, cutting angles, and material parameters to achieve the best precision for every job. Smart detection and real-time feedback ensure every cut is consistent and efficient.
The fully automated control environment turns complex fabrication into a guided, one-click process — giving creators industrial accuracy without the learning curve.
Designed for creators who want precision without complexity — a complete cutting ecosystem in one interface.
Sensors
Arc 1 uses a combination of lidar and camera vision to analyze each piece of metal before cutting begins. The system automatically detects shape, thickness, and position to prepare an optimal cutting plan in seconds.
During operation, the sensors continuously monitor the process to maintain quality and adapt parameters in real time. This ensures clean, accurate results across different metals — even on irregular or recycled material.
By mapping the full surface area, Arc 1 intelligently reduces waste and maximizes every scrap, turning leftover sheets into usable parts with minimal setup.
Capabilities
- Automated alignment. Lidar scanning identifies the exact position and dimensions of each piece of metal.
- Vision monitoring. High-resolution camera feeds track the cut in real time for adaptive quality control.
- Material optimization. AI algorithms calculate the most efficient layout to reduce waste and reuse scrap metal.
Our vision - Making metal cutting accessible to everyone
Our goal with Arc 1 is to lower the entry barrier for precision metal fabrication. We want engineers, makers, and small R&D teams to prototype and produce with the same confidence as large industrial setups — without the cost or complexity.
By combining smart automation, integrated software, and an enclosed, desktop form factor, we’re turning plasma cutting into a tool anyone can use. Arc 1 is designed to reduce dependencies, simplify production, and bring fabrication closer to where ideas begin.
- Accessible. Metal cutting shouldn’t require a factory. Arc 1 brings industrial capabilities to your workspace, making professional results attainable for anyone.
- Independent. We believe in empowering creators. Arc 1 reduces supply chain dependencies by enabling local prototyping and small-series production.
- Precise. Every system is engineered for consistent accuracy — from AI-driven calibration to real-time quality monitoring.
- Safe. The fully enclosed design keeps the workspace clean and secure, allowing high-performance cutting without industrial infrastructure.
- Efficient. Intelligent material mapping minimizes waste and maximizes yield, turning every scrap sheet into a new opportunity.
- Innovative. We merge advanced sensors, AI, and automation into a single compact system — redefining how small-scale manufacturing happens.
