Australian Startup to Vastly Disrupt 3D Printer Market with ARC-one

Arcadian 3Ds streamlined ‘ARC-one printer speeds up high quality builds with its on-board operating system, at a fraction of the cost.

Perth, Australia December 08, 2015 -- Arcadian 3D, an Australia-based company, has developed the next generation of 3D printing technology with the ARC-one, a high-grade consumer 3D printer that competes with models in the $5,000 range, besting competitors with its $1,399 price tag, while bragging better features and technology.


Founded by 23-year-old entrepreneur and inventor Alex Bolderoff, Arcadian 3D emerged as a company intent on problem solving. With the help of CTO Joe ‘Mosfet Malone, an accomplished electronics engineer, circuit designer, and best-practice businessman, they set their sights on improving upon current printer models on the market.

Not only was Bolderoff able to create his dream printer, he was able to do it at a fraction of the cost. "We keep our overhead low and keep the user in mind. Im proud to say that our printer is at least 50% less expensive than comparable models on the market today, yet doesnt have the same problems that plague other more expensive machines," said Bolderoff. Keeping costs low was a priority from the start for Arcadian 3D. Bolderoff and Mosfet agreed that access to this technology should be wider and more universal. When asked about his low price, Bolderoff said, "Developing this technology was never about making us wealthy - it has always been about creating a fair product, in terms of price and quality. I was the 3D printer consumer, and I know what it feels like to spend a lot on a printer that youre disappointed in. We wanted to be different."

The ARC-one boasts a multitude of features, including an on-board operating system that doesnt require the use of an external computer, web browsing for 3D model downloads, and more advanced settings that allow pros to upgrade and hack their ARC-one to suit their design needs. The ARC-one is the first and only consumer 3D printer with a Linux OS and 32-bit motion controller combined. Smart software allows for easier downloading, preparing models, 3rd party slicing apps, filament profiling for perfect prints, and more. Arcadian 3D has developed technology that eliminates guesswork by providing error-proof bed levelling, advanced filament sensors, and creating larger maximum build volume inside of a compact unit.

The ARC-one is now available through Kickstarter. Each backer will receive a printer for pledging, and rigorous planning has secured a swift production schedule to fulfill the backer-reward quickly.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
