Dusty Robotics Raises $45M in Series B Funding

Dusty Robotics, a Mountain View, CA-based robotic solution provider, raised $45M in Series B funding.

The round was led by Scale Venture Partners with participation from Baseline Ventures, Canaan Partners, Root Ventures, NextGen Venture Partners, and Cantos.

The company intends to use the funds to grow its team, expand its product offerings, and accelerate manufacturing with the goal of deploying its products on all construction sites in the U.S.

Led by CEO Tessa Lau, Dusty develops robot-powered tools for the workforce, automating construction’s manual workflows. The FieldPrinter solution automates the BIM-to-field workflow through a combination of hardware, software, and services that fit into existing construction work processes.

Several dozen contractors are using the FieldPrinter solution on job sites across the U.S., including some of the biggest names in construction: DPR, Swinerton, PARIC, Performance Contracting Inc., and Southland Industries.

Recent advances in FieldPrinter technology have made the solution easy to adopt by skilled construction professionals. The FieldPrinter 1.0 release marks the first milestone of a production system ready for widespread use. New features in 1.0 include: 

  • Printing around reshores or on congested sites using automatic obstacle detection and avoidance
  • QR code printing, enabling instant access to construction documents
  • Fast, efficient printing including single-pass printing of intersection points
  • Real-time progress monitoring
