Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Drywall finishing is one of construction's most labor-intensive trades, requiring 5-7 days for Level 4/5 finishes with skilled workers exposed to repetitive motion injuries, dust inhalation, and ergonomic strain from overhead work.

The Solution

Robotic drywall finishing system that sprays compound and sands walls with millimeter precision, reducing finishing time from 5-7 days to 2 days while capturing 99% of dust and enabling ground-level operation for elevated work.
