Dusty Robotics specializes in providing robotic solutions specifically designed for the construction industry. Their main product, the Dusty FieldPrinter, automates the layout process on construction sites, which helps to enhance accuracy, communication, and speed during construction projects. This product is particularly beneficial for general contractors, drywall, and mechanical firms in the United States. Unlike many competitors, Dusty Robotics focuses on a direct sales model combined with service contracts, allowing them to generate revenue not only from the sale of FieldPrinter units but also from ongoing maintenance services. The goal of Dusty Robotics is to improve efficiency and reduce costs for builders, which has led to their technology being adopted by leading construction firms.
