Phrozen, previously known for its popular resin printers, is venturing into FDM territory with the Arco, boasting a colossal 300x300x300 mm³ print volume and a blistering 600mm/s max speed. The Arco aims to redefine extrusion-based printing, combining size and speed for seamless workflow integration.
Phrozen Arco
Equipped with a Chroma Kit, the Arco offers multi-filament printing capabilities, empowering users to create vibrant, colorful models effortlessly. Scheduled for a Kickstarter launch, Phrozen seeks to set a new standard in consumer-grade 3D printing.
Arco’s specs place it among the elite in its class. Its impressive build volume allows for large-scale prints without sacrificing quality, thanks to its rapid acceleration and top printing speed. Powered by Klipper firmware and designed for future enhancements, the Arco promises continuous improvement through OTA updates.
Precision engineering ensures smooth filament flow, crucial for high-speed printing. Dual extruder gears and a patented direct extrusion path enhance performance, enabling flawless prints with various materials. The Chroma Kit enhances versatility, supporting up to 16-color prints through automatic filament swapping.
The robust outer structure minimizes vibrations, ensuring superior print quality. Each Arco comes with a Pentashield enclosure for noise reduction and temperature control. With PIXUP slicing software and a dedicated model library, Phrozen fosters a vibrant community, distinguishing 3D printing as a unique manufacturing medium.

Sonic Mighty Revo
But if you think the company is shying away from the resin printers that made it famous, then you can think again, because in addition to their new FDM machine, the company has recently announced a brand new 14k resin printer.
The Sonic Mighty Revo is a 14K resin printer featuring a 10.1-inch Mono LCD screen and a generous print volume of 223 x 126 x 235 mm. With an XY resolution of 16.8 x 24.8 µm, it achieves an impressive average printing speed of 70 layers per hour, with a top speed of 450 layers per hour.
Equipped with auto-leveling, residue detection, and failure detection systems, along with a built-in heater and exhaust vent for temperature maintenance and air ventilation, the Sonic Mighty Revo is built to provide reliable and efficient printing.
For air purification, it utilizes a USB-powered air purifier, while an internal camera facilitates remote monitoring via the PhrozenGO app. Notable features include a built-in interior light, cooling fan, dual linear rails, and a full metal exterior. Control is streamlined through a five-inch touchscreen interface, with connectivity options including USB and Wi-Fi.
While sharing similarities in size, volume, and speed with its predecessors, the Sonic Mighty 8K and Sonic Mighty 12K, the Sonic Mighty Revo distinguishes itself through enhanced features and performance.
Preorders for the Revo are available on Phrozen’s website until February 21, priced at $1,000 ($1,050 and €1,034 for Global and EU stores), offering enthusiasts access to reliable 12k resin printing technology.
