Hal Reed has spent most of his life figuring out how things work—and how to make them work better.
A Desert Storm veteran and MIT graduate, he has worked on everything from classic cars to telemetry systems supporting deep-space missions. That same curiosity eventually led him to 3D printing, where a single hobby printer quickly grew into a full fabrication workshop.
Today, Hal combines engineering experience, hands-on craftsmanship, and practical problem-solving to help customers turn ideas into reality. Whether it’s a prototype, replacement part, custom fabrication project, or production run, his approach remains the same: build it right the first time.
Reed 3D was built to solve problems.
Some customers arrive with a finished file. Others show up with a broken part, a rough sketch, or an idea they are not sure can be built. The process is the same either way: understand the problem, develop a solution, and build something that works.
From one-off prototypes to production-ready components, Reed 3D focuses on practical results, quality workmanship, and getting the job done right.

“The most rewarding projects are the ones that start with someone saying, ‘I do not know if this is possible, but…’”
Tell us what you need built, printed, repaired, recreated, or prototyped. Include as much detail as possible so Reed 3D can review the project and follow up with next steps.
Whether you’re new to 3D printing or looking to improve your skills, Reed 3D provides personalized instruction tailored to your equipment, experience level, and goals.
Tell us what printer you have, what is going wrong, and where you are located. Reed 3D will review the issue and follow up with repair options, parts needs, and any applicable travel estimate.
