The process of mudding drywall seams–which requires multiple applications of joint compound, followed by multiple drying and sanding cycles–has remained unchanged for decades. That all changed in June, when construction robotics company Canvas demonstrated its drywall finishing machine’s new feature, Level 4 Targeted Spray, at a big launch event inside its San Francisco headquarters.
The event attracted 200+ participants–including general contractors, self-perform general contractors, drywall contractors, project developers and owners, architects, union leaders and the trade media–all curious about Canvas’ announcement that it was going to reveal Level 4 Targeted Spray, its new drywall finishing system that reduces cycle times by up to 40 percent.
