What is HP SitePrint?

HP SitePrint is an innovative construction layout solution designed by HP to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of construction projects. HP SitePrint is specifically designed to print CAD drawings directly onto concrete slabs and sub-flooring. Here’s an overview of its key features and benefits…

Key Features:

1. Direct Printing on Concrete:
   • HP SitePrint enables the direct printing of CAD drawings onto concrete surfaces for MEPF and partition layout. This includes detailed layouts for walls, mechanical systems, electrical wiring, fire protection, and plumbing installations.
2. Automation and Precision:
   • The system automates the process of transferring digital designs to physical concrete surfaces, ensuring high precision and reducing the potential for manual errors.
3. On-Site Application:
   • Designed for use on construction sites, HP SitePrint allows for immediate application of layout plans directly onto the concrete slabs where the installations will occur.
4. Seamless Integration:
   • It integrates smoothly with Revit and various CAD software, allowing for an efficient transition from digital designs to field printer layouts.
5. User-Friendly Operation:
   • The system is built to be user-friendly, ensuring that construction professionals can operate it effectively with minimal training. With that being said, the robot does require some skill to operate efficiently, which is why many choose to use Redman Robotics to complete their robotic layout.
6. Durable and Reliable:
   • HP SitePrint is designed to endure the construction environment, handling the dusty and hectic nature of the job site while ensuring reliable performance.

Applications:

• Construction Sites: Ideal for marking out construction plans directly on concrete slabs, aiding in the accurate placement of walls, mechanical systems, electrical wiring, and plumbing.
• Architectural and Engineering Projects: Helps ensure that the on-site execution aligns with detailed CAD drawings, reducing the risk of errors during construction.

Overall Benefits

• Enhances Accuracy: By printing building plans directly onto the concrete, HP SitePrint ensures that layouts are accurately transferred from digital plans to physical surfaces, minimizing errors and discrepancies. In cases where a stub-up is outside of a wall, these errors can be caught early with allowing them to be addressed before they impact the schedule.
• Speeds Up Workflow: By printing the layout early in the process (as soon as the slab is walkable), you can speed up the need for additional manual marking, because every line becomes an extension of your control. This helps keep projects on track, while saving time & money.
• Reduces Costs: Decreases labor costs and potential rework by providing precise and clear instructions directly where they are needed. In the case of a large high rise, the time savings alone can lead to loan interest savings that offset the cost of the robotic layout.

HP SitePrint represents a significant advancement in the way construction layouts are executed, while increasing coordination between various trades. Streamlining the layout process from digital designs to physical construction provides a level of efficiency that often pays for itself.
