EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The contract for ten new 3D-printed barracks at Fort Bliss has been awarded, with the project set to house 560 soldiers by June, officials with Fort Bliss announced on Facebook.

This innovative technology promises to provide safe and comfortable living spaces while saving the government money compared to the costs of multiple years of temporary facilities.

The installation has been approved to expand the number of 3D-printed barracks, increasing clean and safe barracks space for mobilizing and deployed soldiers in just a few months.

This effort supports soldier welfare and enables mission focus, officials said.
