Level 3: Weaponsmith Spells

When you reach an Artificer level specified in the Weaponsmith Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared. 

Whenever you gain an Artificer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must require an attack (such as Banishing Smite), a weapon (such as Conjure Barrage), or ammunition/quiver (such as Cordon of Arrows). You cannot learn Divine Smite this way. Qualifying spells from the Player's Handbook are added to your Artificer spell list.

Level 3: Battle Ready

Your weapon training and magic smithing have paid off in two ways.

Weapon Knowledge. You gain proficiency with Martial weapons. You can use a weapon with which you have proficiency as a Spellcasting Focus for your Artificer spells.

Level 3: Arcane Weapon

As a Magic action while you have Smith’s Tools or Woodcarver's Tools in hand, you can turn a weapon you are wielding into your Arcane Weapon. The weapon continues to be your Arcane Weapon until you make a different weapon your Arcane Weapon or you die.

Weapon Replication. You learn an additional plan for your Replicate Magic Item feature, and it must be in the Weapon category.
