About

Steel Dynamics, Inc. is one of the largest steel producers and metals recyclers in the United States, manufacturing steel using electric arc furnace (EAF) mini-mill technology that melts recycled scrap metal rather than virgin iron ore. Founded in 1993 by Keith Busse and a team of former Nucor executives, Steel Dynamics has grown from a single mini-mill in Butler, Indiana to a national steelmaker with 12 steel mills, 9 steel fabrication operations, and extensive metals recycling operations. The company produces flat-rolled steel (sheet, coil), long products (structural steel, bars, rails), and value-added steel fabrications.

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.
