Blackboard Studio

Blackboard Studio is a New York-based VDC firm providing robotic field layout, LiDAR scanning, and BIM coordination. Blackboard Studio was built to solve a persistent problem: design intent lost in the handoff from model to field. Their workflow integrates point cloud verification and Dusty-powered robotic layout to ensure what's printed on the slab reflects real-world conditions — not just the plan.
On the 55th floor of The Spiral at Hudson Yards, Blackboard Studio printed 23,000 square feet of multi-trade layout in two days.
What You Get with Blackboard Studio:
- Verified Layout — point cloud scans confirm slab conditions against the coordinated model before a single line is printed
- Full-Detail Prints — walls, room names, door numbers, switch locations, and lighting layouts printed directly on the slab
- Reality Capture Integration — LiDAR-scanned as-builts overlaid against plans to catch discrepancies before they reach the field
- End-to-End Coordination — from survey control through construction verification, one team owns the digital-to-field workflow

Alston Construction, a top 50 ENR general contractor, was contracted for the second of a three-phase turnover of a cutting-edge robotic warehouse and distribution center. Alston partnered with ENG for its hands-on production BIM services, including the translation of the full digital model to what was needed in the field. With ENG and Dusty, Alston reduced their layout schedule by two thirds, reduced their layout labor by over 90%, and got the line up and running faster.

FrameTec

FrameTec delivers Dusty-powered automated layout as a service to builders, printing full multi-trade floor plans directly onto the slab from coordinated CAD files. Their process covers all trades in a single mobilization — framing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical — eliminating the sequential, trade-by-trade layout that eats schedule time and creates finger-pointing when lines don’t match. Working with builder partners like Mandalay Homes in Arizona, FrameTec has reduced total layout time from 12–16 hours for framing alone to 6–8 hours covering all trades, while cutting pickup work per house to under 30 minutes.
What You Get with FrameTec:
- All-Trade Layout in One Pass — framing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical printed simultaneously from a single coordinated file
- Half the Time — 6–8 hours for full multi-trade layout versus 12–16 hours for framing-only manual layout
- Rework Eliminated — 1/16” accuracy means trades follow the line instead of interpreting a drawing
- Faster Pickup — under 30 minutes of pickup work per house for installers, versus 8–10 hours with traditional methods

Leviat
Leviat is a global manufacturer of engineered concrete connection systems, with roots extending back to 1882 and active operations in more than 30 countries. In the U.S., Leviat and its Meadow Burke, Thermomass, and Halfen product brands are familiar names to tilt-up contractors who rely on the company’s lifting inserts, structural anchors, insulation systems and embed accessories.
Because Leviat engineers are often involved in every aspect of each panel — calculating exactly what hardware is needed and precisely where it must be placed — they already produce the precision shop drawings that define panel layout. That makes Dusty layout coordination a natural extension of their existing workflow, giving tilt-up contractors a single source for embed engineering, specification, and Dusty-ready layout files.
What You Get with Leviat:
- Tilt-Up Engineering + Panel Layout in One — Leviat’s products are often already specified for your project, so Dusty layout coordination is a natural extension, not a separate engagement
- Embed-Accurate Print Files — Dusty-ready files with every insert, anchor, and blockout position confirmed against the structural specification
- Coordinated from the Start — Layout files are produced alongside the engineering package, so you're ready to print as soon as the slab is prepped
- Tilt-Up Specialist Knowledge — Decades of tilt-up-specific expertise, applied to every layout file they produce

What Customers Say
“Certainly, the future of construction layout is precision robotics. We were thankful to partner with ToPa3D, who brought technical expertise. This partnership permitted our team to utilize the tool without taking on the steep learning curve.” — Hudson Cox, Sessler, Inc.
“We enjoyed learning all about ToPa3D’s service offerings and are looking forward to advancing this partnership.” — Sara Saxena, Technical Program Manager, Amazon Robotics
“Paul and Ryan and the rest of the ToPa team were a tremendous help on our project and provided us with invaluable point cloud scans of an existing building that we were preparing to retrofit...reducing a multitude of RFIs and costs that would have come about if the design team had based their design off inaccurate and old as-built drawings.” — Parker Simpson, Fortis Construction
