EPISODE 407: Are you struggling with inaccurate construction layouts? Well, say hello to precise projections! In this week’s episode, my co-host Jonathan Marsh and I sit down with William St-Pierre, co-founder and CEO at Mechasys, to discuss his journey from 3D printing to laser projection technology for construction layouts. Discover how this laser technology from Mechasys facilitates precise, efficient, and collaborative construction processes across multiple surfaces. Together, we dive into how laser projection works, its manufacturing and assembly processes, why it works better (even for non-BIM users), and much more. Whether you’re an expert in the field or just starting to explore new technologies, this episode is jam-packed with insights on why laser technology is crucial in construction layouts!
