Forging Shelter With Precision: How 3D Printing Could Reshape India’s Defence and Disaster Infrastructure

MiCoB, an Ahmedabad-based startup incubated at IIT Gandhinagar, is pioneering the use of 3D concrete printing to address critical infrastructure challenges in remote, disaster-prone, and defence-sensitive regions of India. By combining prefabricated 3D printed wall panels with conventional structural components, the company has demonstrated how automated construction methods can reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and enhance climate and terrain adaptability.
