Dusty Robotics, a pioneer of automated site layout, has launched its FieldPrint Platform for an automated 'BIM-to-field' workflow.
New FieldPrint Platform Integrates Proprietary Hardware, Software, and Services to Optimize Building Processes, Ensuring Precision and Alignment at every stage– from VDC to InstallationMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dusty Robotics has announced the launch of its FieldPrint Platform, a complete BIM-to-field solution designed to reduce construction risk by ensuring all contractors are building off the same information. The FieldPrint Platform provides a suite of tools that enable GC's and trade partners to streamline their BIM-to-field workflow by supporting the entire process from design to installation and beyond. Building upon the success of the first-generation FieldPrinter, which has printed over 91 million square feet of layout, the new FieldPrint Platform incorporates lessons learned from years of experience in the field to deliver an optimized experience for all trades on site.Five years ago, Dusty pioneered multi-trade layout: automating all interior trades' layout using a robot to mark coordinated drawings on the deck, ensuring that everyone builds from the same information. The FieldPrint Platform introduces a suite of software and hardware functionality, including a brand new second-generation layout robot, the FieldPrinter 2, which work together to create an efficient process for the GC and trades to accurately and comprehensively lay out BIM models on the deck."Construction is fundamentally a data-driven workflow that hinges on the right information being made available to the right person at the right time," said Tessa Lau, CEO and co-founder of Dusty Robotics. "Our new FieldPrint Platform supports the seamless flow of data from the design phase, to the field, and back to the trailer

It details how Dusty Robotics diagnosed and fixed a rare hardware bug on some of its FieldPrinter robots, which can autonomously print full-scale models onto construction surfaces in a fraction of the time it takes a manual layout crew with a chalk line. About a year ago, we started getting reports from the field about undesirable behavior when our robots were turned on. On rare occasions, they would behave unpredictably
