FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 cost? +

The Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 price is not published as a simple retail hardware figure and is normally provided through a commercial platform quotation based on project volume, service territory, onboarding and support. The final cost can change according to the country, configuration, freight, taxes, accessories, software, commissioning, training, warranty and support.

Buyers should be careful when comparing online prices because one figure may describe only the base robot while another may include application hardware, integration or service. For a professional deployment, the more useful question is what is included, what is excluded, and what is required before the robot can perform the intended task? Ask for an itemised offer covering the robot, controller or operating interface, batteries or power equipment, required tools, software licences, installation, training, delivery, warranty and ongoing support. This is especially important when the product is sold by quotation, rental, subscription or pilot rather than through a standard retail checkout.

You can request a Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 quote through Anton Robots to compare the complete package and commercial terms before proceeding.

Where can I buy the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2? +

You can request or arrange access to Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers review the current commercial route, compare available supplier or manufacturer information, understand what is included and decide whether the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 is suitable for the intended application. FieldPrinter 2 is also offered directly by Dusty Robotics through a commercial platform and onboarding process, with general availability focused on North America.

Before buying, reserving, renting or entering a pilot, confirm the exact model, configuration, availability, delivery territory, hardware package, software access, installation, training, warranty, maintenance and after-sales support. Do not assume that every offer bearing the same product name includes the same equipment or operating services. Enterprise robots often require application design, site preparation and integration before they create value. This means the lowest displayed price is not automatically the lowest total cost or the safest offer.

To start, request Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 buying guidance through Anton Robots and compare the proposed package with other construction robots.

Where can I find a Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 for sale? +

You can request a Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 through Dusty Robotics and specialist construction-robot channels such as Anton Robots, but it should not be treated as a normal standalone retail robot with universal worldwide delivery. Finding a listing is only the first step. The buyer should verify whether it represents a new robot, a used unit, a rental, a pilot programme, a reservation or a complete deployed solution.

Check the exact hardware version, included accessories, software licences, delivery location, expected lead time, installation obligations, warranty and who will provide technical support after handover. This is particularly important for specialist robots because the base machine may not perform the desired workflow without tooling, maps, facility integration, operator training or application software. A low advertised price can become more expensive once freight, commissioning, accessories, service and local compliance are added.

If you are comparing a Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 for sale, ask for a written scope and acceptance criteria rather than relying on a product-page headline. Contact Anton Robots for help reviewing the commercial status and complete package before placing an order.

Can I get a quote for the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2? +

Yes. You can get a quote for the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should include more than the base robot price. It should identify the delivered configuration, controller or operator interface, batteries or power equipment, tools and accessories, software, connectivity, freight, installation, training, warranty, support, lead time and any recurring service charges. For FieldPrinter 2, the proposal should explain the commercial platform model, supported region, project volume, drawing preparation, onboarding, training, consumables, batteries, service, support and any recurring fees.

The application should also be described clearly enough for the supplier to check payload, reach, route, floor, crop, object, cycle-time, safety or environmental requirements as applicable. Without that information, two quotes may look comparable while describing very different solutions. Ask which work is included, which work belongs to the buyer or integrator, how acceptance will be measured and what happens if the robot cannot meet the agreed workflow.

Anton Robots can help compare the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 against other construction robots and request an itemised proposal based on the use case and destination.

What is included when you buy the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2? +

A typical Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 package may include the core robot and the standard operating equipment described by the manufacturer, but the final packing list depends on the version, country and commercial agreement. The system is offered as a supported construction-layout platform, so software access, plan processing, consumables, service territory and project onboarding can be as important as the physical robot. Before committing, request a written list covering:

  • Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 robot
  • Dual print-head hardware and standard printing equipment
  • iPad field-control workflow specified in the agreement
  • Dusty Portal and supported file-processing access
  • Milwaukee M18 batteries and charger as specified
  • Onboarding, operator training and documentation
  • Consumables, service and support defined in the contract

Also confirm whether freight, taxes, import clearance, installation, site mapping, integration, operator training, software subscriptions, spare parts and after-sales support are included or quoted separately. This matters because two offers can use the same product name but deliver different operational readiness. The robot hardware alone may not be enough for a real application. For business buyers, the complete installed and supported package is more important than the headline price.

You can request an itemised Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 offer through Anton Robots before buying, renting or entering a pilot.

How accurate and fast is Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2? +

Dusty Robotics states that FieldPrinter 2 can print layout with approximately 1/16-inch, or about 1.6 mm, accuracy under suitable conditions. It can print solid lines at speeds up to around 2.5 ft/s, while text and point workflows are typically slower at approximately 1.6 ft/s.

Travel speed without printing can reach roughly 3.3 ft/s. These figures do not mean every project will be completed at the maximum speed or accuracy. Results depend on the quality of the coordinated model, control and localisation setup, floor condition, visibility, calibration, obstructions, project geometry and the amount of text or detail printed. Layout productivity should be measured across complete zones, including setup, control verification, file preparation, battery changes and site interruptions.

Buyers should compare printed points with approved survey control and follow Dusty’s workflow for validation. Request a FieldPrinter 2 productivity assessment through Anton Robots.

Can the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 be shipped or deployed internationally? +

FieldPrinter 2 general availability is currently focused on North America, so projects outside the supported territory should obtain written confirmation of commercial access, service, consumables and local deployment support. International delivery is not determined by the robot alone. It can depend on the destination country, manufacturer coverage, authorised partners, freight restrictions, batteries, customs, taxes, wireless approvals, local safety requirements and the availability of commissioning or repair support.

Ask who will act as importer, who pays duties and taxes, where warranty work is performed and how replacement parts or specialist service will reach the site. For software-connected robots, also confirm cloud availability, data location, cybersecurity requirements and whether remote support works in the destination region. A product shown online should not be assumed to have immediate worldwide supply. Buyers with a fixed project date should obtain written confirmation of the configuration, lead time and local service plan before placing an order.

You can request international Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 availability through Anton Robots so the complete regional position can be checked.

Is the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 availability and delivery time can change according to production, country, configuration, commercial model and current demand. FieldPrinter 2 is commercially offered, but access is arranged through Dusty Robotics based on territory, onboarding capacity and project requirements rather than immediate retail stock. A robot may be shown on a manufacturer website while still requiring a quotation, application review, rental agreement, production slot, pilot approval or regional distributor confirmation. Lead time can also be affected by accessories, batteries, custom tooling, software, freight, customs, site preparation, commissioning and operator training.

If the robot is needed for a harvest window, construction programme, production launch, trade show or customer commitment, do not rely on a generic online estimate. Ask the supplier to confirm whether the exact unit is in stock, built to order, allocated to a programme or dependent on an integration schedule. The written proposal should separate shipping time from the time required to make the robot operational.

Request current Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 availability through Anton Robots before making project commitments.

What warranty and support should I check before getting the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2? +

Before purchasing, renting or deploying the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2, check the warranty or service period, covered components, exclusions, response times, preventive maintenance, software support, spare-parts availability and the process for repairs. Confirm plan-processing support, onboarding, field training, software access, calibration help, consumable supply, battery support, repair response and coverage for the project location.

Specialist robots may also require help with setup, mapping, calibration, application tooling, software updates, network configuration, operator training and recovery after faults. Ask whether support is delivered remotely, onsite or through a regional partner, and who pays freight or travel for service. The agreement should state what happens if the robot arrives damaged, misses performance targets or becomes unavailable during a critical operating period. Battery, consumable and wear-part coverage should be checked separately because they are often treated differently from the main hardware.

For professional buyers, support quality can have a larger effect on lifetime value than a small difference in purchase price. Contact Anton Robots to review the proposed warranty, rental or service package before committing.

Is the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 worth buying? +

The Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 is worth considering when a contractor repeatedly performs detailed interior layout from coordinated digital models and can convert faster printing, clearer trade information and reduced rework into measurable project savings. Its value depends on matching the robot to a defined workflow, environment and operating team rather than buying it only because the technology is impressive. The strongest business case normally includes measurable labour, throughput, quality, safety, capacity or scheduling benefits and a realistic plan for integration and support.

However, the platform may be difficult to justify for occasional small layouts, poorly coordinated drawings, rough exterior surfaces or projects outside Dusty Robotics service coverage. Buyers should compare the robot with simpler alternatives such as conventional machinery, fixed automation, cobots, AMRs, manual tools or process redesign. A pilot should use real tasks and acceptance criteria, including exception handling and uptime, not only a controlled demonstration. Calculate the complete cost of ownership, including accessories, software, integration, training, maintenance and internal staff time.

You can compare other construction robots through Anton Robots before deciding whether the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 is the right investment.

What can Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 print? +

FieldPrinter 2 can print more than simple wall centre-lines. It can place full-scale lines, points, text, room names, dimensions, trade labels, symbols and QR codes directly onto a suitable construction floor.

This allows crews to see design intent and installation information in the physical work area instead of repeatedly interpreting a separate drawing. Different trades can use colour, labels or structured layers according to the project workflow and supported print setup. QR codes can connect field locations with additional digital information, subject to how the contractor configures the project. The value depends on choosing information that helps installers without covering the floor in unnecessary detail.

The coordination team should agree which layers, text, offsets and references are approved before printing. A printed mark is only as reliable as the model and control used to create it. Field teams should follow revision and verification procedures so outdated information is not treated as current construction direction.

Which files and software work with Dusty FieldPrinter 2? +

Dusty’s workflow supports coordinated construction information from tools such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, processed through the Dusty Portal and controlled in the field with an iPad-based interface. The project team normally prepares and reviews the layout layers before they are sent to the robot.

Buyers should confirm the currently supported file formats, coordinate systems, model versions and any required plugins or export procedures. A direct digital workflow reduces manual transcription, but it does not solve clashes or incorrect design data.

The BIM or VDC team must coordinate trades, approve offsets and confirm that the model reflects the latest construction issue. File naming, revisions and user permissions should be controlled so the operator cannot accidentally print an obsolete plan. Ask who is responsible for file preparation, quality review and field control setup. The onboarding plan should include a real project file rather than only a generic training example.

What construction work is FieldPrinter 2 used for? +

FieldPrinter 2 is used for interior and building-layout workflows across general contracting, drywall, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete and other coordinated trades. It can mark walls, sleeves, penetrations, hangers, equipment locations, room information, service routes and installation references where the approved digital plan can be represented on the floor.

The robot is especially valuable on large commercial projects with many repeated rooms, dense MEP coordination or multiple crews depending on the same layout. It can reduce tape-measure work and help trades understand exactly what belongs at each location.

The contractor still needs survey control, model coordination, layout approval and field verification. The robot does not decide whether the design is constructible or whether an existing condition conflicts with the model. Start with a defined zone and compare labour hours, rework, RFIs and installation productivity against the existing layout method before expanding use across the project.

What floor and site conditions does FieldPrinter 2 require? +

FieldPrinter 2 performs best on relatively smooth, clean and accessible interior construction floors where it can navigate and leave readable marks. The site should remove loose debris, standing water, cords and obstructions that interfere with travel or printing.

Highly uneven, wet, dusty, damaged or exterior surfaces can reduce print quality and localisation reliability. The project must also provide approved survey control and enough visibility for the robot’s positioning workflow.

Active construction traffic should be coordinated so workers, lifts and materials do not repeatedly block the print zone. Temperature, lighting and surface coatings may affect ink adhesion or readability and should be checked before large-scale printing. The operator should inspect sample marks and confirm that they remain visible for the required period without damaging the finished surface. FieldPrinter 2 is a precision construction-layout tool, not an earthworks rover or substitute for surveying control on uncontrolled terrain.

How long do FieldPrinter 2 batteries last and what consumables are needed? +

FieldPrinter 2 uses Milwaukee M18 batteries and supports hot swapping so work can continue with charged spare packs. Dusty guidance indicates that a typical XC5.0 battery can provide several hours of operation, commonly around three to four hours depending on printing, travel, temperature and battery condition.

The exact commercial package should confirm the number of batteries and chargers supplied. The robot also requires approved printing consumables and routine cleaning or replacement of components associated with the print heads.

Consumption depends on the amount of linework, text, colour and project area rather than robot runtime alone. Contractors should keep spare batteries and consumables onsite and include them in the daily planning process. Ask how cartridges or ink are stored, what shelf life applies, how print heads are cleaned and what happens if consumables run out during a critical layout window. Total operating cost should include software, service and field support as well as ink and batteries.

Does FieldPrinter 2 replace surveyors or layout crews? +

FieldPrinter 2 automates much of the physical act of transferring coordinated digital information onto a floor, but it does not eliminate the need for survey control, BIM coordination, construction judgement or verification. Surveyors and qualified layout personnel still establish or validate the control framework and confirm that the site corresponds with the design.

The robot can then print large quantities of approved information more consistently and quickly than manual tape-and-chalk methods. Field staff remain responsible for checking revisions, existing conditions, tolerances and trade requirements.

The strongest workflow reassigns skilled people from repetitive marking toward coordination, quality control and exception resolution. Contractors should avoid presenting the robot as an independent authority that can correct the model or detect every field conflict. Define who approves the file, who verifies the printed layout and how discrepancies are escalated. The technology changes the layout process; it does not remove professional accountability for construction accuracy.
