We can also build models!
Over the past two weeks, we have been working with ematec on a very special project.  The result? A detailed model of their new blade turner in miniature format!  We used our 3D printers to realise the model on a scale of 1:100 and 1:16.

It was a pleasure to work for a company from our neighbourhood.  We wish ematec every success with their innovative Blade Turner - even if it is definitely too big for our facilities at a scale of 1:1!

Vehicle manufacturer opts for 3D printing
A clear decision for the vehicle manufacturer from Memingen: an injection moulding tool was simply too expensive for these components, and additive manufacturing also allowed the components to be customised with the company logo and serial number - no problem for Blueprint!

Go Cycling or go home!
We teamed up with Sebastian Baldauf from Baldiso, where Blueprint Advanced Manufacturing GmbH helps to develop new and innovative high performance bicycle components! Here's an example of a new spacer designed specifically for their custom frames and handlebar stems and made using additive manufacturing:
✅Internal cable channels for a hidden look
✅Geometrically shaped for a seamless design
✅Long-lasting, scratch-resistant coating with customisable colours and effects
✅Stack heights customisable and all in one piece
✅The weight of the 3D printed component is 30% less than the milled aluminium standard.

The use of additive manufacturing opens up almost unlimited possibilities for new design and performance parts in the bicycle industry. We are very proud of the groundwork that has been done in this collaboration and look forward to the next projects to come!

New material in our portfolio!
🌱 As part of our sustainable development goals, Blueprint is continuously validating new technologies and materials to keep ourselves and our customers up to date with the latest developments in additive manufacturing.

🔎 Following a comprehensive evaluation in accordance with our ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 protocol, we are pleased to announce Ultrasint PA11 (Nylon 11) from BASF as a new addition to our material catalog! PA11 is a bio-based high-performance material for demanding selective laser sintering applications, where the toughness of functional components is crucial.
If you want
The balanced mechanical properties make the material a sustainable alternative to the frequently used PA12 (nylon 12) for functional prototypes, high-performance component applications and individualized medical devices with skin contact.
If you want
✅ High-performance thermoplastic material properties
✅ Bio-based
✅ Excellent value for money
✅ Approved for skin contact
Because we feel like home...

Whitepaper
Challenges for small and medium size enterprises brought by the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

Have you heard? The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has now been in effect for almost a year. The impact for Medical device and diagnostics manufacturers are likely to bring huge challenges to implement the new requirements. Whether you are a start-up in the early phase, further advanced development enterprise, or even an established medical device company, do you understand the current realities of EU MDR compliance? The fact is, there are challenges that will impact just about every medical device company operating or planning to operate in the EU. However, small and medium sized enterprises with limited resources may find it difficult to adapt to changes and implement these requirements in a timely manner.

Are you aware of the impact for your company?

In our white paper, Blueprint together with our advisor board member Prof. Dr. Hanns-Peter Knaebel, express our concern over the burden of the certification process. We review the aspects the new legislative framework has on medical device development, particularly for smaller businesses, and offer some insight on how further technological innovation in the manufacturing sector can help in the wake of stricter regulations.

📢A little insight into our daily business.

🔁 Rapid product development, as well as individual and serial production, is necessary to react agile and fast to internal and external events.Often, classical production processes can no longer cope with the increasing complexity, speed or batch size. This is becoming a greater challenge. Flexible and innovative manufacturing technologies are the key to the best solution of quality and efficiency.

By lowering fixed costs and reducing procurement complexity, product development and time-to-market can be achieved faster and more cost-efficient. Feel free to visit our website and read the article for more information.

Blueprint is founded

On 03.08.2022 Blueprint is founded in Memmingen.

Why Memmingen?!

Firstly: Memmingen it located near by the so called three boarder area. Due to its geographical location, the company appeals to the many small and medium-sized businesses, located mainly in southern Germany as well as to international customers.

Secondly: It is beautiful and leads to a motivating work atmosphere....

How it started

A general goal in the production of components is, to meet the ever-increasing demands on quality and functionality. Traditional manufacturing processes are reaching their limits to meet these goals!

Jordan and Jens were already working closely together before Blueprint was founded. During a trip, they fleshed out their idea of starting an Advanced Manufacturing company with the core values of quality, professionalism and reliability.

Combining Additive Manufacturing with a lot of creativity  Jens and Jordan ....
