Improve layout productivity up to ten times compared to traditional chalk-line layout.
Autonomous printing with obstacle avoidance and HP Smart Navigation System.
Print detailed information with precision, ensuring smooth installations.
Compact design that fits in a portable case for effortless transport.
HP SitePrint: Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1
Prepare a 2D ‘Robot Ready’ File
Our HP SitePrint-certified specialists provide training so your team can convert BIM models for robotic layout. Using the SitePrint plugin in AutoCAD or Revit, users define printable elements, obstacles, and control points. The plugin then processes the model into a robot-ready 2D format. For clients opting to outsource this step, Site Precision partners with a provider specializing in SitePrint file preparation.
Step 2
Prepare the Jobsite
HP SitePrint operates under jobsite conditions similar to manual layout. For maximum efficiency, clear as many obstacles as possible from the layout area. No need for excessive cleaning since the robot will print on dusty and damp surfaces. Thanks to its rugged design and built-in tilt compensation sensors, rough and uneven surfaces are also no challenge for SitePrint.
Step 3
Perform Setup with Robotic Total Station
Use a robotic total station to measure at least two control points using prisms or reflectorless mode—this is identical to traditional RTS setup. After measuring, the operator reviews the residuals to ensure accuracy. Once verified, lock the RTS onto the prism mounted on the SitePrint, and you’re ready to print.
Step 4
Operator Executes Layout Using the HP SitePrint User Interface
HP SitePrint’s UI runs on any device with WiFi and a web browser. Through the user-friendly interface, operators can select print elements and manually add any unexpected obstacles. When ready, simply press ‘Print’, and let the robot go to work. A handheld joystick allows for manual override when needed.
Step 5
End-to-End Management
HP SitePrint adds value on-site and in the office through its cloud-based software. Before printing, users can upload drawings to a simulator for accurate layout time and cost estimates. During printing, real-time cloud connectivity provides progress updates, performance metrics, and access to support resources—streamlining the entire workflow.
Versatile Surface Printing
Equipped with specialized ink from HP, SitePrint can print on various surfaces including rough concrete, tarmac, plywood, formwork, and vinyl. With permanent and semi-permanent ink options, our ink portfolio adjusts to different project requirements.
Enhanced Jobsite Safety
With built-in safety stop technology, HP SitePrint operates autonomously while preventing falls, collisions, and other hazards, enabling it to work on almost any construction site.
Cloud-Based Layout Management
The HP SitePrint Cloud software enhances communication and transparency between office staff and field crews. Office teams can seamlessly upload updated file versions to the cloud, ensuring layout crews always have the latest information. Additionally, the software enables layout cost prediction, tracks costs and productivity, and monitors progress from start to completion, providing real-time insights that were never possible before.

HP SitePrint FAQs
How fast can HP SitePrint layout?
The HP SitePrint navigates between each print element at 2.30 feet per second and prints an average of 936 linear feet per hour. For MEPF trades, SitePrint prints 200 points per hour on average (includes point and text label). However, actual print speed may vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.
