Diamond Age Partners with Ukraine's Ministry of Strategic Industries (MSI) to Deploy 3D Printed Bunkers for National Defense  

December 6, 2023 

In a groundbreaking initiative, Diamond Age, a leading full-stack robotics innovator dedicated to making homeownership more affordable through automation, has signed a Letter of Intent to work with Ukraine's Ministry of Strategic Industries. The collaboration will harness Diamond Age's cutting-edge automated concrete 3D-printing technology to produce bunkers, supporting Ukraine's ongoing war efforts. 

The historic event was formalized Monday during a meeting at the Arizona State Capitol, attended by representatives from Ukraine, Diamond Age, and the Arizona Defense and Industry Coalition (AZDIC), alongside Arizona House Speaker Ben Toma. 

Widely recognized for its expertise in automated 3D-printing processes in home construction, Diamond Age showcases its commitment to adapting this technology for broader societal benefits. CEO Jack Oslan expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to rapidly assist Ukraine and envisioned the technology's potential for rebuilding communities. 

"Today, Diamond Age takes a historic step, joining forces with Ukraine's Ministry of Strategic Industries. Our cutting-edge 3D-printing technology will create bunkers, not just for defense but as a symbol of hope and resilience. We're not just innovating; we're making a meaningful impact on lives.", said Oslan.  

This significant step follows the memorandum of understanding signed in September between Ukraine and AZDIC, outlining plans to establish collaborations with over 1,200 defense and non-defense industry companies in Arizona. A delegation from the coalition, including State Rep. David Cook, visited Ukraine in June to better understand the country's immediate needs and innovative approaches to future development. 

Diamond Age anticipates a timeline of six to nine months to produce the bunkers once specifications are received from Ukraine. The company plans to conduct testing at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the innovative technology in real-world conditions. 

This partnership represents Ukraine's endorsement of the project, enabling Diamond Age to seek funding to produce the 3D-printed bunkers.
