Starting with your idea, we define and deliver optimal technological product solutions for your market success as a development and manufacturing partner.

Blueprint

We drive the future of manufacturing.

Our journey began within the competence center of a large German family-owned company, where we successfully scaled additive manufacturing into series production. Driven by the vision to make advanced manufacturing more accessible and efficient, Blueprint Advanced Manufacturing GmbH was founded in 2022.

Today, we stand by your side as an independent engineering and manufacturing partner. We are backed by an exceptional network and the strategic guidance of highly experienced entrepreneurs: Ferdinand Piëch and Prof. Dr. Hanns-Peter Knaebel (current CEO of the University Hospital Heidelberg and former CEO of global leaders like Röchling and Aesculap) actively support us as mentors and advisory board members.

Together, we are convinced that technological excellence combined with personal dedication is the key to your market success.
