Buyer’s guide: layout robots for construction

How they work

The robot reads the CAD or BIM drawing and is positioned by a total station or its own sensors, then prints lines and text at millimetre accuracy.

What to check before buying

  • Accuracy and area per hour
  • CAD/BIM formats supported
  • Whether a total station is needed

Where they work
