A Quick Guide to 3D Printing

There is a very steep learning curve to owning a 3D printer, so we have created “A Quick Guide to 3D Printing”. Which gives you an introduction to FDM/FFD Printing No matter what 3D printing process you are using you need to start with a file that can be “SLICED” Read more…

Save Money on Your Prototypes

An engineering drawing or photo-realistic render can only tell you so much about your new product. If you want to get down to the nitty-gritty of form fit and function then you need to have your new product in your hands.  Conventional prototype manufacturing can be time-consuming and expensive. But Read more…

The White Horse CAD Difference…

What makes White Horse CAD stand out from the crowd? We think it’s our ability to turn new product ideas into working prototypes quicker than some suppliers can deliver a basic conceptualisation. We take your design inputs and create production-ready designs on time and on budget. Manufacturing consideration from the Read more…

Computer Aided Design – it’s not just for Engineers

While White Horse CAD specialise in engineering services, we also work with many non-engineering industries. For example, we create complex CAD models for jewellery design, hand-made craft products, or even architectural and interior designs. The product on the left is a double twist open structured mobius bangle. It’s rendered in Read more…

How strong are 3D printed parts?

We’re often asked how strong our FDM 3D printed parts can be. The answer… it really depends on the: –  size of the component –  parameters used for printing –  material chosen.     But to give an idea of how strong a 3D print can be we created two Read more…

Low cost, functional prototypes

Sometimes the best way to evaluate a design is to make it and physically test it. However, the cost of low-volume component manufacture can often be prohibitive to product development. A 3D printed plastic rapid prototype can help the product development and decision-making processes. Questions such as, “Is it comfortable Read more…

Solving a problem

What a disaster! White Horse CAD has a reputation for solving problems, no matter how big or small. So when we got home after a long day to find the only bottle opener was missing, we had to solve the problem using some of our usual tools. Let’s look at Read more…
