Dusty Robotics Launches Certified Partner Program to Expand Automated Layout Adoption
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Dusty Robotics has introduced a new Certified Partner Program aimed at accelerating the adoption of automated layout technology across construction projects of all sizes in the United States.
The initiative enables contractors to become certified operators of the company’s FieldPrint Platform, allowing them to deploy automated layout solutions independently without requiring Dusty personnel onsite. The move is designed to address growing demand for construction technology while overcoming logistical challenges tied to equipment deployment and workforce training.
Dusty Robotics said the program removes key barriers to entry by equipping construction professionals with the tools and expertise needed to implement multi-trade layout automation across a wide range of job sites.
Expanding Access to Automated Layout Technology
The Certified Partner Program introduces a scalable model that broadens access to automated layout, particularly for projects that previously may not have had the resources to adopt such technology.
“The construction industry has embraced automated layout as a key solution to improve coordination challenges and skilled labor shortages,” said Tessa Lau, CEO and co-founder of Dusty Robotics. “Our Certified Partner Program is the next step to make this technology accessible to every project that needs it. By training contractors to operate the FieldPrint Platform independently, we're creating a network of certified professionals who can mobilize quickly and bring the power of automation to jobsites of all sizes.”
Certified partners undergo comprehensive training on the full FieldPrint Platform, including the FieldPrinter 2 robot, the Dusty Portal for multi-trade collaboration and integrations with industry-standard design tools such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. Participants are required to complete multiple projects and demonstrate proficiency in the system before certification.
Many partners also provide complementary services such as 3D scanning, file preparation and prefabrication, further enhancing the value of the platform within project workflows.
Strengthening VDC Integration and Industry Collaboration
A key component of the program is its dedicated track for Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) professionals. Recognizing the importance of accurate digital models in automated layout, Dusty Robotics is certifying VDC partners who specialize in preparing, coordinating and validating building information modeling (BIM) data for field execution.
These partners play a critical role in ensuring that design intent is translated into field-ready data before deployment, reinforcing VDC as an accountable discipline within the construction process.
The program also fosters a collaborative network of certified practitioners who share best practices across projects. Since introducing its automated layout technology, Dusty Robotics has enabled contractors to print more than 300 million square feet of layout across thousands of buildings, spanning sectors such as data centers, healthcare facilities and advanced manufacturing.
“Construction is fundamentally about getting the right information to the right person at the right time,” said Josh Lewis, chief operations officer at FrameTec. “As a longtime Dusty customer, we are excited to bring the power of automated layout to jobsites that wouldn’t have otherwise been able to see the benefits we’ve seen on our own projects.”
Initial partners in the program include Blackboard Studio, Bouma Corporation, Topa3D, FrameTec, OhSnap and RG Construction for layout services, along with ENG BIM, Leviat, NaRDil and New Vision Agency for VDC services.
Dusty Robotics said the initiative aligns with its broader mission to streamline file-to-field workflows and improve construction execution through automation. The company’s FieldPrint Platform continues to gain traction among leading general contractors and trade partners seeking greater precision and efficiency on job sites.
