The armies of the world pay special attention to 3D printing primarily because of the logistical possibilities that this technology provides for maintaining equipment and equipment in working order. For example, it can be used to manufacture necessary spare parts or small-sized products in the field, in particular, drones, or to produce parts that are no longer manufactured by industrialists.

However, France has found another use for this technology. The Army Command has entered into a partnership agreement with Constructions-3D to conduct a tactical assessment of 3D printing during the construction of concrete structures. During the tests, a MaxiPrinter type 3D printer was used.

This 2.7 ton machine can be deployed in less than 15 minutes. Thanks to the folding mobile chassis, it can easily move around the construction site and quickly start work on a new site.

Termix 3D concrete is used as the material. During the engineering festival on June 22, the company used this equipment and, with the support of the 19th Engineer Regiment, built a World War II pillbox, other fortifications and structures - a total of 15 objects. The corresponding video is shown online.

However, they have yet to be tested for durability. In addition, ballistic tests will be conducted this summer to test their resistance to small calibres.

- the army explained.

As indicated on the company's website, Termix 3D when folded has a height of less than 200 cm and a width of 86 cm, a maximum printing length of 12.5 m, and a printing speed of 250 mm/s.
