How it works on your site

The HP SitePrint is a 9 kg wheeled robot that prints full-scale construction layout lines, text, and symbols directly onto floor slabs from 2D DXF files, guided by a robotic total station. It covers wall lines, door and window openings, MEP penetrations, ceiling grid references, and finish boundaries; a single operator manages the robot from a tablet while control-point setup and CAD preparation stay with the crew. SitePrint has been shipping since 2023.

Ceiling Grid Layout

The robot prints a ceiling layout full scale on the floor slab beneath it, including arcs and curved lines taken straight from the DXF file. At Vancouver Airport, PCL used it to print the curved lines for a decorative ceiling feature, with a single surveyor running the robot.

Door and Window Opening Layout

The robot marks door placements, window positions, and header references as part of the same print job that carries wall lines. Floor deviation marking runs simultaneously, flagging level differences at openings where threshold tolerances matter.

Finish Boundary Marking

The robot marks finish boundaries, material transitions, and trade demarcation lines across porous and non-porous substrates. The crew selects from 8 interchangeable ink cartridges matched to surface type and durability requirements.

MEP Penetration Marking

The robot positions MEP penetration points, conduit runs, and circuit references from the same DXF file used for wall layout. Color-coded ink cartridges differentiate trades on the slab; cartridge swaps between colors require manual intervention.

Wall Line Marking

The robot prints wall positions, framing references, and drywall track lines directly from CAD data in a continuous pass. Three LiDAR sensors and a depth camera handle obstacle avoidance; the crew sets control points and prepares the DXF file before the robot runs.
