Our workshop sits in Basingstoke, a short hop from Reading, which makes it one of the easier places in Berkshire to get quality FDM 3D printing without going through an online marketplace or a print-on-demand outfit that sub-contracts the work overseas.
As well as Reading itself I regularly print for Lower Earley, Woodley, Caversham, Tilehurst and Wokingham and the surrounding Berkshire area. Everything ships by Royal Mail Tracked or Parcelforce, so it makes no difference whether you’re in the centre or out in the villages.
Typical Reading jobs are custom brackets, enclosures, replacement parts you can’t buy any more, and one-off prototypes, in PLA and PETG, or ABS/ASA/PC when the part needs to be functional rather than decorative. The full scope and example work lives on the main 3D printing page and in the workshop gallery, if what you need isn’t shown, email a description and I’ll tell you if it’s doable.
Reading has plenty of printing options on paper, but most are aggregators that route jobs through shared farms, you never know which machine, operator or country your part came from. Hark Tech is a one-person workshop: every job is printed on a machine I maintain myself, and you talk to the person who pressed start.
