About

Colby Vreman

Founder, Engineer & Fabrication Nerd-in-Chief

I started Vreman 3D Lab as a way to bring ideas to life—mine, and yours. What began as a small 3D printing setup for prototyping custom designs has evolved into a full-fledged fabrication studio where engineering meets experimentation.

With a background in mechanical engineering and hands-on experience in CAD modeling, manufacturing, and product development, I built this space to be more than just a print shop. It’s a living portfolio, a design lab, and a place to solve real-world problems through practical, precision-driven fabrication.

Today, I offer services that include:

  • 3D Design & CAD Modeling – Custom parts, SolidWorks/Fusion 360, FEA optimization

  • 3D Printing (FDM) – Prototypes, end-use parts, creative builds

  • Laser Cutting & Engraving – Wood, acrylic, select metals; branding & gifts

  • Electroplating – Nickel, copper, and decorative/functional finishes

  • Product Development & Prototyping – Concept to functional prototype support

  • Sustainability & Recycling – Eco-friendly reuse of filament and materials

Whether you’re an inventor with a napkin sketch, a student trying to test a design, or a small business needing a batch of custom parts—I’m here to help bridge the gap between idea and reality.

At Vreman 3D Lab, every project is an opportunity to build smarter, fail forward, and make cool stuff. Let's collaborate and create something worth holding in your hands.

Marco

Mascot & Resident 3D Printing Specialist
Don’t let the fur fool you—Marco takes his job seriously. When he’s not napping under the workbench, he’s overseeing filament changes and providing emotional support during long print jobs. Known for his keen eye for layer shifts and his ability to bark precisely when a print fails, Marco is an essential part of the Vreman 3D Lab team. Treats are his preferred form of payment.
