No 3D file? Our partner CEEQ Design makes it real.
Got an idea, a sketch or a broken part but nothing to print from? You need it designed first, and that is CEEQ Design, a team of Chartered Engineers who model it, handle the job start to finish, then have it printed. Hark Tech is the printing side of that partnership.
The design is in expert hands
We are a printing workshop, not a design studio, so all the CAD is done by CEEQ Design, a Basingstoke studio led by Chartered Engineers who design for a living. You get one job, start to finish, with the modelling done right.
Basingstoke engineering design studio, led by Chartered Engineers. Mechanical, electronics, software and full product design, idea to manufacture.
Proven on serious engineering: subsea housings rated to 4000 m, instruments with 10-year battery life and cloud-connected monitoring systems.

Describe it, CEEQ designs it, we print it
No CAD file, no problem. Bring an idea, a sketch, a photo or a worn-out part. CEEQ turns it into a print-ready model, then we print it in-house and post it to you.
Custom parts from scratch
Describe it, sketch it or show us a reference. Our design partner models it properly in CAD, sized to fit and built to print, then we print it.
Mechanical & functional parts
Brackets, mounts, gears, housings and moving assemblies designed to fit and to take load. Proper engineering (CAD, FEM, CFD, seals), not a quick sketch.
Replacement & obsolete parts
A broken bracket, a discontinued clip, a worn gear or knob, reverse-engineered from the old part or a photo and reprinted in a material that lasts.
Enclosures & housings
Custom cases, bezels, mounts and brackets for electronics and hardware, designed around your components and in the right material for where they live.
Improve an existing part
Fix a weak point, change a fit, add a feature or adapt a part to a new use, then print the upgraded version. CEEQ can take on electronics and full product design too.
Prototypes & one-offs
Turn a concept into something you can hold and test in days, not weeks. Bespoke one-off components, display pieces and proof-of-concept parts.
The right material, honestly advised
We print FDM, the right tool for strong, functional parts. If your part really needs a fine cosmetic finish, a transparent or a flexible material, we will tell you straight rather than sell you the wrong process.
| Material | Good for | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Concept models, prototypes, display parts, fast iteration | In stock |
| PETG | Tougher functional parts, brackets, mild chemical resistance | In stock |
| ABS | Heat resistance, durable enclosures, classic engineering plastic | Ordered in |
| ASA | Outdoor and UV-stable parts, marine and weather exposure | Ordered in |
| PC | High strength and high temperature applications | Ordered in |
From idea to finished part
See PETG parts printed for CEEQ Design in a completed Hark Tech job. For future quantities, use our small-batch printing route; if your file is ready now, get your STL printed.
Talk to CEEQ
Take your idea, sketch, photo, rough dimensions or worn-out sample to CEEQ. No CAD file needed, and no CAD skills either.
CEEQ designs it
Their Chartered Engineers model it properly in CAD, sized to fit and built to print. You approve the design with them before anything goes to a printer.
We print it
CEEQ sends the approved model to us. We print it in the right material, PLA, PETG, ASA or PC, on machines we run and maintain ourselves.
Posted to you
Packed and posted UK-wide. The CAD model is yours, so reordering or tweaking the part later is easy.
Stuck at the modelling stage? You are not alone
Most people have the idea and the need, just not the 3D file. These are the jobs CEEQ designs most, then sends to us to print.
Design and print, answered
I do not have a 3D model. Can you still get my part made?
Yes. You need it designed first, and that is CEEQ Design. Take a sketch, a photo, rough dimensions or even a broken sample to them, their engineers turn it into a print-ready CAD model, then we print it in-house and post it to you. You do not need any CAD skills.
How much does design and printing cost?
CEEQ quote the CAD work separately and manage the design with you. Hark Tech prices printing from the finished file. Standard print orders start at £6.90; Draft prototypes start at £5.18 for size, fit and form checks. TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. Other specialist materials have a £46 minimum. Your file, material, quantity and print settings determine the price. Delivery is shown separately before checkout. Price a finished file.
Can a broken or discontinued part be copied or reverse-engineered?
Often, yes. From the broken part or a clear photo with key dimensions, CEEQ can model a discontinued bracket, clip, gear, knob or housing, and we reprint it in a suitable material.
Who does the design work?
CEEQ Design, a Basingstoke studio of Chartered Engineers (3D and mechanical design, electronics and full product development). They design the part and run the job with you; Hark Tech prints it. For a design enquiry you go straight to CEEQ.
Do I own the 3D model?
Agree ownership, supplied file formats and reuse rights with CEEQ as part of their design quote, including any plans for future print runs.
How long does design and printing take?
CEEQ give you a design timescale when they quote. Printing and postage are separate stages; see Hark Tech’s current dispatch times and the delivery options shown with the print quote. Discuss your required date before committing.
Which materials can you print?
See the materials guide for PLA, PETG, TPU and the specialist options. The quote tool shows the available material and colour choices, minimums and order-in status for your job.
