About

Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
