Change Release Notes
This update introduces a new internal memory manager designed to reduce out-of-memory errors on lower-powered PCs, particularly when working with 3D Designer and 3D Automated Instructions.
Key Improvement
Enhanced Memory Management for 3D Rendering
- Some users, especially in education systems running ARC on lower-end PCs, have experienced out-of-memory errors when working with large 3D design files in 3D Designer and 3D Automated Instructions.
- While these memory errors do not affect robot functionality, they can disrupt workflow when creating or viewing complex 3D models.
- This release introduces an optimized memory manager that better handles large 3D assets, reducing the likelihood of out-of-memory errors.
This update is particularly beneficial for schools, students, and users on older hardware, ensuring a smoother experience when designing and working with 3D robot models.
Update now to take advantage of this improvement.

Upgrade to ARC Pro
Don't limit your robot's potential – subscribe to ARC Pro and transform it into a dynamic, intelligent machine.
I'm not sure when this happened or which of the recent updates are to blame but the load time of ARC, once it starts up, is a lot quicker now. It's very noticeable on my Beelink U59 mini PC that's mounted on my robot. At least 3 seconds or more. Nice work! If it gets any quicker I'm going to have adjust my robot's bootup sequence.
Thank you!
i have an awow ak10 pro as SBC, looks very similar to your beelink U59 . i will install the new ARC tomorrow , lets see if the boot process is faster. I have win11 , id like better the win 10 version.
Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing your results.
yes a bit faster.I installed the next release 03.18. A lot of releases since January!
Yeah it's been quite a bit faster I noticed. On my rock pix, which I use as the SBC on many of my testing robots, it's been a rocket. Gotta say I'm super impressed with it lately.
