How to get Arc Furnace
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 0) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.
It needs no other technology.

How do I get Arc Furnace in Stellaris?
It has no prerequisite: it can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options once tier 2 is open. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Arc Furnace do?
It gives +3 Arc Furnace Capacity. It unlocks Living Metal Construction (edict), Arc Furnace (megastructure), Arc Furnace: Borehole Pumps (megastructure), Arc Furnace: Equatorial Band (megastructure) and Arc Furnace: Mohole Extractors (megastructure).
What is the ID of Arc Furnace?
The technology's ID is tech_orbital_arc_furnace. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_orbital_arc_furnace (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Arc Furnace cost?
3,000 engineering research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
