Walls & Ceilings: How Canvas is Supporting Human Drywall Workers

Canvas was recently featured in Walls & Ceilings coverage of the BUILD25 event, highlighting how our 1200CX’s automated features are revolutionizing drywall by improving productivity, safety, and quality.

At BUILD25, we debuted our latest drywall machine, the 1200CX, drawing substantial industry attention. The 1200CX represents our most advanced technology yet, engineered to deliver consistent and precise Level 4 and 5 finishes.

1200CX’s automated features include self-driving capabilities, all-wheel steering for effortless maneuverability, automatic seam detection, and robust safety protocols. These new advancements enable drywall contractors to complete projects more quickly, achieve consistently high-quality results, and significantly enhance workplace safety.

Our Founder & CEO, Kevin Albert, emphasized that the automation features built into Canvas machines are explicitly designed to augment human skill rather than replace it. By reducing manual errors and minimizing the need for rework, our technology empowers drywall professionals to optimize workflows, reduce costs, and adhere closely to project timelines. This enables them to focus on more skilled, rewarding tasks while addressing the critical labor shortage impacting construction trades.
