WS Swift Ltd

We have worked with Tim from White Horse CAD on multiple projects over the past year. They have become a trusted part of our team. Tim always delivers projects on time and to a very high standard. I have no problem in recommending White Horse CAD to other businesses looking for CAD support.

Tim is highly professional and very easy to work with. His combination of skills and experience have proved invaluable on several projects and we would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

Lyndon Beer

LGB Electrical

I needed a better solution for a tool that I use nearly every day. The manufacturer of the equipment I install supply a plastic tool with each unit but the tool breaks easily. White Horse CAD took the original tool and converted it to a 3D CAD, they then lined up a local engineering company to make it. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing CAD Design.

I have been lucky to work with Tim on various projects since 2006. He is simply a design genius. Tim is a great communicator of design, and works to perfection, but perhaps his greatest strength is in his design insight, in complex systems and mechanisms.

Dr Anne Roques

Dr Anne Roques

Pulsar R&D

I have worked with Tim on innovative development projects (orthopaedics implant and instruments), for which Tim was the senior design engineer. Tim is a gifted engineer, who has designed multiple implants/instruments systems and associated fixtures for verification. WHC can supply rapid prototypes, which are a great aid. In my experience, Tim‘s work is always of high quality.

‘We have used White Horse CAD to produce manufacturing drawings and material requisition for us.
Their work is clear, concise and well presented. He works quickly to turn around the work we require which helps to maintain our manufacturing schedules. I would recommend White Horse CAD to any potential customer looking to have the same work carried out.’

If you are after innovative ways to solve project challenges I would recommend teaming up White Horse CAD as a Research and Development Partner.
