Dusty Robotics is the best solution to ensure design integrity in the field through automated layout and a streamlined BIM-to-field process. Dusty delivers a combination of hardware, software, and services that fit seamlessly into existing construction work processes by printing digital models directly on the jobsite floor with 1/16" accuracy based directly on Revit or AutoCAD models. Dusty has enabled contractors to print over 100 million square feet of layout across thousands of buildings and is trusted by leading general contractors such as DPR, McCarthy, and Skanska as well as trade contractors in framing, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing.

Proud moment for the DraftSight team: DraftSight turns 15 👏 I’ve had the honor of leading this product for the past 10 years, and it’s especially meaningful to see DraftSight showing up strong at 3DEXPERIENCE World this week in Houston, TX. I love seeing how partners and customers are using DraftSight where accuracy and reliability matter most. Huge thanks to our partners, users, and everyone who’s helped shape this journey. 🥂Here’s to what we build next. #DraftSight #15YearsOfPrecision #2DCAD #3DEXPERIENCEWorld #Partners #3DXW26 TD SYNNEX Dusty Robotics Moasure® GoEngineer SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes
The 3DEXPERIENCE Playground is the center of the action at 3DEXPERIENCE World, and a great place to see how DraftSight fits into the broader design and manufacturing ecosystem. Connect with Dassault Systèmes experts and partners, meet student design teams, and hear from makers, startups, and manufacturers using DraftSight to create production-ready 2D designs that support real-world workflows. #3DXW26 #SOLIDWORKS #DASSAULTSYSTEMES #DRAFTSIGHT http://go.3ds.com/yqfQ
When it comes to solving the construction labor crisis for his company Ford Drywall & Stucco, John Ford, President and Owner, isn't waiting on macroeconomics. He's proactive in making sure that his company is attractive to new talent. Ford's in-house apprenticeship program is purpose-built for giving young construction professionals a rocket-ship start. And Ford chooses technologies like Dusty not just for their impact on operations, but for their pull for the younger generation. “Dusty helps me sell construction to the kids we want to work here. It's pretty tough to get a high schooler to get past the fact that it's hot, dirty work, and understand that this is fun, and hey, you can make money," he says. "For that, Dusty is a game changer.” #construction #framing #drywall #ConstructionWorkforce #ConstructionLabor #WorkforceDevelopment #VDC #BIMtoField #ConstructionQuality #MultiTradeLayout #ConstructionTechnology #AutomatedLayout #DustyRobotics New Vision Agency
Dusty will be at 3DEXPERIENCE 2026 next week! Shutting down the line for construction or maintenance is painful, but everybody has to do it. Come to Booth 228 and see how Dusty's #AutomatedLayout technology compresses turnover schedules and reduces error and rework to get your facility back up and running, fast. We'll be running live demos throughout the event. Talk to our expert team about how Dusty can bridge between your digital model and your physical plant. See you there! #3DXW26 #3DEXPERIENCEWORLD #3DEXPERIENCE #DassaultSystemes #IndustrialLayout #IndustrialAutomation #TurnoverProjects #Manufacturing #ShippingCenters #DataCenters #DustyRobotics Dassault Systèmes
Day or night, hot or cold, damp or dry. Dusty doesn't care. When your slab is ready, Dusty goes to work. No drama. No special treatment required. When layout keeps moving, the whole job keeps moving. That's what Dusty's built for. #RealWorldLayout #AutomatedLayout #FieldPrinter2 #DustyRobotics #MultiTradeLayout #ConstructionTech #BuiltForTheField #ConstructionLayout #ConstructionTips #ConstructionFraming #TiltUpConcrete #MEP

Watching Dusty at work is a reminder of how much construction technology is reshaping our industry. We got a firsthand look at how Dusty digitally lays out framing locations directly onto the concrete slab. Instead of traditional tape measures and chalk lines, the robot prints the layout with precision, allowing the team to verify dimensions, identify conflicts, and resolve challenges before framing even begins. By integrating tools like this into our workflow, we can deliver projects that are more efficient, predictable, and better aligned with our clients’ expectations.

Traditional hand layout beats up good people. Daley's Drywall & Taping knows it. “I’m not sure everybody appreciates what it takes to do hand layout," says J.R. Roy, BIM Coordinator who is a fifth generation carpenter who came up in the field. "You've got one guy reading plans, another guy holding the chalk line. You're walking out 40 feet, you're walking back 40 feet, you're pulling out the tape, you're snapping it back, you're pulling the chalk line out, you're snapping the chalk line, you're double-checking the plans, then you're going back out again, then you're measuring 8 inches, you pull out your speed square. It’s all of those motions, over and over.” You won't hear any argument from Theodore De La Rosa, Layout Foreman. “Dusty is definitely a little easier on the body when you’ve been running drywall for 20-plus years. At my stage of my career, I’m happy to be doing this instead of hand layout for sure.” #construction #framing #drywall #VDC #BIMtoField #ConstructionQuality #MultiTradeLayout #ConstructionTechnology #AutomatedLayout #DustyRobotics #ConstructionWorkforce #WorkforceDevelopment
How does Dusty handle bumps, holes, and rough concrete? Without even blinking. (Actually... Dusty never blinks.) We know you're working on a real jobsite, and real jobsites are imperfect. Dusty's built for that. It uses a super-accurate laser tracker to check its position dozens of times a second -- so even if a bump throws it off course, it corrects itself instantly. So you can trust the accuracy of your layout even if your jobsite is... you know, under construction. #AutomatedLayout #RealWorldLayout #BuiltForConstruction #RobotsInConstruction #JobsiteTech #ConstructionTech #FutureOfConstruction

RFIs always blow up early in construction. Every superintendent expects it. Every PM has lived through it. You can coordinate for months. You can review the model ten different ways. And the second crews show up onsite, the questions start coming. Not because anyone messed up. It’s because real-world tolerances don’t show themselves until work actually starts going in. Everything looks clean in the model. Clearances check out. No clashes flagged in coordination. Then the slab is within tolerance but shifted a couple inches and now a beam is sitting right where the duct is supposed to be. I hear a lot of teams say the answer is more coordination. Another round of clash detection. Tighter modeling. Try to get everything perfect before you ever mobilize. That’s never how it plays out. Most of the real questions show up when someone is actually trying to install the work. The contractors seeing better results aren’t just doing more precon. They’re getting field input into the plan earlier. Supers and foremen pressure testing the plan before the schedule is locked. Not learning new software. Just sanity-checking whether it works when you’re standing there with a tape measure and thinking through the install. What that changes is simple. Less waiting around for answers. Less rework. Fewer surprises once installs start. I see the same thing across different trades and jobs. When layout is driven straight from the model and used to pressure test sequence, those issues show up earlier, when there’s still time to adjust. That’s where Dusty Robotics fits in for a lot of teams. It lets field crews validate the plan through layout and install planning, without having to become BIM experts. RFIs aren’t going away. The only real choice is when you want to deal with them. During layout and install planning. Or when your crew is standing there burning hours. The better contractors made that choice a while ago.
