WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction teams spend months manually laying out building elements on jobsite floors with string lines and chalk, achieving only basic accuracy and frequently causing costly rework due to layout errors. Manual layout creates communication gaps between trades and delays project timelines.

The Solution

FieldPrinter robots automatically translate BIM models into precise floor layout markings with 1/16" accuracy at 600 DPI. The system processes 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator, coordinates multiple trades simultaneously, and identifies conflicts before construction begins.
