Colky Manufacturing is the contract manufacturing side of ColKy Designs & 3D Prints LLC. We make plastic parts and finished products for industrial customers, businesses, teams and individuals in our own shop in Freeland, Michigan, with nine processes under one roof and a person, not a portal, answering every request.
What we do
3D printing
A 70-printer FDM farm running heated-chamber engineering materials. One part to prove the fit, then prototype, bridge and repeat production on the same settings. Production 3D printing
UV printing
Full-color logos, legends, serials and QR codes printed directly on film, plastic, metal and wood, flatbed or rotary. The process behind our overlays, nameplates, badges, tags, decorated parts and promo items. UV printing
CNC engraving and cutting
Blanks for badges, plates and signs, engraved lettering and logos, printed parts faced to tolerance, small tooling. Fixtures, CNC and laser
Laser engraving and cutting
Acrylic, hardboard, wood and film cut to your outline on a 700 × 500 mm bed; permanent engraved marks on plates, awards and parts. Laser cutting and engraving
CAD design
Build to your print, or we model the part from a sketch, a sample or a list of requirements. Reverse engineering of worn and discontinued parts, design for additive and for injection molding. Engineering and design for manufacturing
CAM programming
Toolpaths for the CNC and laser written here from your DXF or STEP or from our own CAD, with the fixtures to hold the part printed on the same floor. CAM programming
Graphic design
Logo cleanup and vectorizing, layouts for overlays, nameplates, labels and promo items, and a proof on the actual item before anything prints. Graphic design
Part marking
Serial numbers, lot codes, QR and Data Matrix, legends and logos printed or engraved on your parts or ours, every piece different if it needs to be. Variable data and serialization
Assembly and kitting
Inserts, hardware, sub-assembly, badge and overlay application, kitting and packing, so the part that ships is the part you asked for. Assembly and value-added manufacturing
