Overview
Dusty Robotics (Mountain View, California; founders Tessa Lau and Philipp Herget; about $67.8M raised) makes the FieldPrinter, an autonomous mobile robot that prints full-scale building layouts directly from BIM models onto concrete floors for construction crews, at roughly 1/16-inch accuracy. FieldPrinter 2 and the FieldPrint Platform reached general availability in October 2024. The registry records it at commercial maturity, with DPR Construction as anchor customer (four printers across sixteen projects) and additional general contractors including Swinerton, PARIC, and Southland; the platform has printed over 100 million square feet of layout. A correction worth recording: contrary to a common conflation (and the originating dispatch), Dusty did NOT acquire Canvas, the drywall-finishing robot company; Canvas was acquired by JLG Industries (an Oshkosh company) in January 2026 and is an unrelated firm.
