Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Guwahati has built a 3D printed modular concrete sentry structure for Indian Army which can be set up at any site within 24 hours, according to officials.
The indigenous innovation has been done under a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Eastern Army Command and IIT Guwahati on developing cost-effective and sustainable defence infrastructure for the Army.
"This 3D printed sentry post is completely modular and can be transported to the construction site and assembled at the location,” T.G. Sitharam, Director, IIT Guwahati, said.
