MiCoB, a pioneer in sustainable and rapid 3D concrete printing technology, has successfully delivered more than 500 impact- and blast-resistant 3D printed bunkers to the Indian Army. Each bunker has been designed by MiCoB in close alignment with the operational needs of Army personnel deployed in extreme and sensitive locations.
From high-altitude hilly and snow-clad terrains to sand dunes of deserts, these 3D printed bunkers provide superior protection, comfort, and durability while meeting stringent military standards for ballistic resistance, speed of execution, and thermal insulation. By automating the building process, MiCoB has successfully reduced construction time from 45 days to less than 7 days, ensuring swift deployment in critical zones without compromising quality or safety.
“Delivering 500+ 3D printed bunkers to the Indian Army is more than an achievement; it’s a powerful demonstration of how innovation meets purpose to strengthen and protect our nation,” said Dr. Shashank Shekhar, Co-founder and CEO, MiCoB. “Each structure has been thoughtfully designed with a deep understanding of the Army’s on-ground realities, ensuring every feature enhances safety, comfort, and operational readiness, even in the most challenging terrains.”
MiCoB’s 3D printed bunkers were first successfully tested in Pokharan in 2022, under a series of weapons, the most powerful of which was the T90 tank. The bunkers have been tested successfully multiple times at different geo-climatic conditions.
