< Back Print-O-Stat holds Pre-Apprentice Day with York Builders Association Students from all over the area were treated to a Pre-Apprentice Day with York Builders Association Print-O-Stat specialists broke the students down into small groups and showed them three key aspects of the AEC industry - CAD and Topography, Survey Equipment and HD Scanning and Software. Hands-on learning and exercises were the focus of the day. Mark, our Applications Engineer, used the Authorized Training Center to instruct students in Autodesk design software and Google Earth showcasing the importance of elevation change, cartography and hydrology. Thomas, our Surveying Specialist, took students outside and introduced them to select survey equipment to triangulate points including an automatic level, a rotating laser and a total station. Steve, Print-O-Stat's HD Scanning specialist discussed the equipment used for HD scanning as well as the end results of renderings of various projects. To give students some hands-on learning, an exercise was given for groups to construct a structure using only spaghetti and marshmallows, with a large marshmallow having to be the top. The highest structure won. Design and team-building were key. Another hand-on exercise was to do site design and layout a new mini-mart type business with gas pumps. Designs had to take into account traffic flow, parking as well as situating the trash facilities and a retaining pond. Brainstorming and teamwork were key for this exercise. For those that attended our Pre-Apprentice Day, thank you for coming! We hope to see you again at future events! For students who couldn't make it, feel free to c ontact us , for more information!

< Back An Engineer's Journey with Print-O-Stat, Inc. Supporting Engineering Professionals Through Every Phase of Project Development Every engineering project follows a distinct path from initial analysis to final delivery. At Print-O-Stat, Inc., we understand the unique challenges engineers face at each stage of this journey, and we have developed comprehensive solutions to support professionals throughout their entire project lifecycle. From the earliest planning phases to construction documentation, Print-O-Stat serves as a trusted partner, providing the tools, technology, and expertise that transform engineering concepts into built reality. Project Analysis: Building Your Digital Foundation Before engineering designs can take shape, teams need robust software infrastructure and technical frameworks to support complex calculations and workflows. This foundational phase determines the efficiency and accuracy of every decision that follows—from preliminary analysis to final deliverables. Modern engineering demands specialized tools that handle discipline-specific requirements while maintaining seamless data integration across platforms. Print-O-Stat partners with engineering firms through Specialized Engineering Software implementations including Autodesk , Carlson , and Bluebeam which integrate directly into existing project workflows. This collaboration ensures your team has access to civil engineering, surveying, and BIM quality assurance capabilities precisely when projects demand them, whether for land development, infrastructure design, or building systems coordination. For firms managing increasingly complex datasets, Technical Consulting for Complex Engineering Workflows provides strategic guidance on process optimization and technical problem-solving. These consulting services help identify efficiency gains and resolve bottlenecks before they impact project timelines. The digital infrastructure transitions smoothly into project execution through Network Configuration to Handle Large Engineering Datasets that ensures your team can access, share, and collaborate on massive files without delays. Print-O-Stat configures systems that align with how your team actually works, eliminating the gap between data collection and engineering analysis. Field Data Collection: Precision Where It Matters Most With the technical foundation established, engineering teams need accurate field measurements that inform design decisions. Precise data collection is non-negotiable in engineering work—whether surveying existing conditions, monitoring construction progress, or documenting as-built conditions. Modern engineering demands measurement tools that deliver reliability, accuracy, and efficiency across diverse project requirements. Print-O-Stat partners with engineering firms through Advanced Survey Equipment with High Precision sales, rentals, and calibration services that adapt to project-specific requirements. This collaboration ensures your team has access to total stations, GPS systems, and laser scanning technology when projects demand them, whether through permanent equipment investments or flexible rental arrangements. For projects requiring detailed topographical analysis, UAV LiDAR Specifically for Topographical Data Collection provides aerial surveying capabilities that capture terrain data quickly and comprehensively. These unmanned aerial systems preserve every critical elevation detail, creating the precise digital terrain models your engineering analysis requires. The captured field data then supports essential project calculations such as volume calculations and ALTA Surveys, delivering the measurements that guide design accuracy and construction confidence. While Print-O-Stat does not conduct surveying services directly, we empower professionals with the advanced tools required to capture this critical information. Through our equipment sales and rentals engineering teams gain access to the high-precision instruments needed to collect reliable field data—ensuring every measurement contributes to informed decisions and successful project outcomes. Measurement accuracy remains paramount throughout project lifecycles. Equipment Calibration Services for Accuracy ensure your instruments maintain precision specifications, providing confidence in every data point collected and supporting defensible engineering documentation. Design & Modeling: Bringing Engineering Concepts to Life The design development phase generates numerous iterations as engineering concepts evolve into detailed construction documents. Accurate technical drawings become essential for communicating design intent, coordinating across disciplines, and guiding construction teams. Print-O-Stat's comprehensive solutions ensure engineering firms can produce, reproduce, and refine documentation throughout the design process. Technical Drawing Printing with Color-Coding for Engineering Blueprints transforms complex plans into clear, readable documents. Our large-format printing services extend beyond basic plotting to include specialized color applications that differentiate systems, phases, or disciplines—making coordination reviews more efficient and reducing the potential for construction conflicts. Many engineering firms work with historical documentation requiring modernization. Raster to Vector Conversion for Legacy Drawings digitizes and transforms scanned images into editable CAD files. This conversion service breathes new life into archived plans, making decades-old infrastructure documentation compatible with current design software and project workflows. Production capability matters during intensive design phases. Print-O-Stat's Specialized Engineering Printers and Supplies provide firms with the equipment they need in-house, from technical document plotters to high-speed production machines. Our comprehensive supply programs—including ink cartridges, bond paper, and waterproof synthetic media for field use—ensure engineering firms never face production delays due to equipment failures or supply shortages. Team Collaboration: Coordination Across Disciplines Modern engineering projects require seamless coordination between multiple disciplines and stakeholders. As projects increase in complexity, the ability to share information, track revisions, and maintain documentation becomes critical to success. Print-O-Stat provides the infrastructure that keeps multidisciplinary teams aligned and productive. Multi-Discipline Coordination Tools enable structural engineers, civil engineers, MEP designers, and architects to work together efficiently. These collaboration platforms support real-time markup, version control, and communication workflows that keep all team members working from current information and reduce costly coordination conflicts. The evolution of engineering designs generates valuable institutional knowledge. Digital Archiving of Engineering Iterations preserves the complete design development record—capturing not just final deliverables but the decision-making process behind them. This comprehensive documentation supports future projects, enables knowledge transfer, and provides the detailed records required for professional liability protection. Information accessibility determines team effectiveness. Documentation for Cross-Functional Teams ensures every stakeholder—from project engineers to construction managers to building owners—receives information in formats they can use. Print-O-Stat produces everything from digital deliverables to printed plan sets, adapting to each recipient's needs and preferences. Project Delivery: Closing Out with Confidence As engineering projects near completion, comprehensive documentation becomes crucial for construction administration, contractor coordination, and long-term facility management. The quality and completeness of deliverable documents directly impact construction efficiency, safety outcomes, and project success. Print-O-Stat ensures engineering firms close out projects with the professional documentation their work deserves. Construction Documentation Sets provide contractors with complete, high-quality plan sets that communicate engineering intent clearly and completely. Our bid set printing ensures all bidders receive identical documents, reducing the potential for disputes and supporting fair competitive processes. As construction progresses, we produce updated plan sets, addenda, and revision packages that keep field teams working from current approved documents.
