FieldPrint Platform by Dusty Robotics
FieldPrint Platform by Dusty Robotics is a field layout system that combines Revit and AutoCAD plugins, a cloud portal, a FieldPrinter layout robot, and an iPad control app to print coordinated BIM data full scale on slabs.
The FieldPrint Platform ties office models to physical layout through a bundle of software and hardware. Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD add-ins publish what crews should see in the field, Dusty Portal coordinates trades toward print-ready packages, FieldPrinter 2 draws linework on deck, and the Dusty iPad app handles adjustments and robot control with a single operator (Dusty Robotics FieldPrint page, 2026).
Dusty cites third-party research that only about eleven percent of field professionals feel they have the information they need to build, using that statistic to argue for full-scale layout that puts model data under foot (Dusty Robotics FieldPrint page, 2026). Another figure on the same page states that about ninety-eight percent of contractors still see quality problems, framing the robot as a precision countermeasure with roughly one-sixteenth inch accuracy claims for large floor areas.
Workflow messaging emphasizes aligning multi-trade models, choosing what prints in the field, and pushing labels, tags, sequencing notes, and QR codes so VDC intent reaches the crew. Real-time reporting is advertised for planning downstream work and costs.
FieldPrinter availability is limited to North America per the page reviewed, so international jobs should confirm service and support before planning equipment (Dusty Robotics FieldPrint page, 2026).

Pros and cons
Pros
- Tight coupling between BIM authoring, cloud coordination, and physical layout hardware.
- Documented accuracy claims and customer quotes from major contractors.
- Training materials referenced through Dusty Academy for operator onboarding.
Cons
- FieldPrinter hardware availability is region-limited on the page reviewed.
- Requires capital and maintenance planning for robots versus chalk lines.
- Best fit for large flatwork; complex vertical work may still need other methods.

Frequently asked questions
Does FieldPrint work with Revit?
Yes. The platform page lists Autodesk Revit plugins as a core component for surfacing models to the field.
What accuracy does FieldPrinter claim?
Marketing cites about one-sixteenth inch accuracy over large floor areas and emphasizes best-fit alignment to control points. Validate on your QA program.
Is FieldPrint available outside the United States?
The FieldPrint page states FieldPrinter availability in North America. Ask Dusty about other regions before importing equipment.
How fast is robotic layout versus manual?
The site claims multi-trade layout can run up to about ten times faster than manual methods for certain workflows. Benchmark on your typical deck sizes.
Can one person run the robot?
Copy advertises single-operator control through the iPad app with AI-driven vision and obstacle avoidance.
Where can I learn more about operations?
Dusty Academy is linked for trainings, and the vendor publishes YouTube videos and case studies for deeper dives.
