Dusty FieldPrinter 1 Goes Out in a Blaze of Glory
Against the record
FieldPrinter, from Dusty Robotics, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 10 Oct 2024: Dusty made FieldPrinter 2 generally available, and said contractors had printed more than 100 million square feet of layout with its robots.
This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.
From the video's description
FieldPrinter 1 is retiring. The original automated layout robot — the one that showed up when the construction industry was pretty sure robots were lame, and proved otherwise. It has printed millions of square feet of layout across thousands of projects. It built an entire category of construction technology. The category of: Stuff That Actually Does Helpful Work on Real Jobsites. But FieldPrinter 2 is here. It's faster, tougher, smaller, and smarter. So for FieldPrinter 1, it's time. Time for a quiet retirement. A mug. Maybe a plaque... ...BUT NAY, good knight! Thou shalt expire in a blaze of thunderous glory!! #DustyRobotics #FieldPrinter #ConstructionTech #AutomatedLayout #RobotsInConstruction
