This Robot Prints Building Plans On-Site with Laser Precision – Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2

The construction industry is under pressure — rising costs, labour shortages, and the demand for speed and precision. But Dusty Robotics is helping bring building sites into the 21st century.

Introducing the FieldPrinter 2, an autonomous robot that prints digital building plans directly onto construction floors — with an accuracy of just 1/16th of an inch. No more guessing with chalk lines and tape measures.

At the heart of this robot’s smooth performance? PMD’s motion controllers. Their ION/CME N-series drives power the front wheels, helping FieldPrinter 2 stay on track — even when the laser tracker loses sight. The robot relies on smart sensors, gyros, and encoders to keep printing accurately, even in blind spots.

The previous motion system had its limits, but PMD’s drives offered better control, faster response, and easier debugging — a big win for Dusty’s engineering team.

From scorching heat to freezing cold, the FieldPrinter 2 is built to work in the real-world messiness of construction. And thanks to PMD, it keeps moving, printing, and performing — wherever the job takes it.
