Summary
The Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 is a battery-powered, wheeled layout robot that prints full-scale construction floor plans directly onto concrete slabs from coordinated BIM/CAD models using inkjet technology. It prints wall lines, door and window openings, MEP penetrations, and finish boundaries for multiple trades in a single pass; vertical surfaces, ceiling layout, and as-built survey stay with the crew. The FieldPrinter has been shipping since 2020, with the second-generation FieldPrinter 2 launched in January 2024 and 20 confirmed production deployments across healthcare, data center, hospitality, residential, and industrial projects in the United States.
How it works on your site
Wall Line Marking
The FieldPrinter drives autonomously along computed paths, printing wall lines at 1:1 scale while a single operator monitors from an iPad. LiDAR and computer vision handle obstacle avoidance during printing, and visual odometry takes over when columns block the laser tracker's line of sight.
Door and Window Opening Layout
The robot prints opening positions as part of the same multi-trade pass that lays out walls, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Revit and AutoCAD plugins combine trade models into a single coordinated print file through the Dusty Portal, so opening layout runs alongside all other trades rather than as a separate manual mark-up.
MEP Penetration Marking
MEP penetration points print in the same pass as wall and opening layout. The operator loads the coordinated model, and the robot prints penetration locations alongside all other trade markings without requiring a separate setup or crew.
Finish Boundary Marking
Finish boundary lines (flooring transitions, tile edges, carpet borders) print alongside other trade layout in the same coordinated pass. The crew reads printed boundaries rather than interpreting field measurements against drawings.
