People often underestimate the difficulties and limitations of designing sheet metal products. Many design rules can catch the unaware design engineer off guard. We are creating a series of practice files alongside our DFM handbook, which is intended to teach good modelling practice and the fundamental principles for manufacturing parts. Read more…
Well-designed products are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also manufacturable within reasonable constraints. Understanding manufacturing processes is essential when designing products because it directly impacts feasibility, cost, quality, and efficiency. Understanding manufacturing methods helps designers select the right materials and production methods. Different manufacturing processes, such as injection Read more…
We frequently hear complaints that young design engineers lack an understanding of manufacturing processes. This is partly due to a decline in the manufacturing skills students learn during their education. But it is also due to students receiving low-quality practice data that fails to reflect real-world manufacturing processes. Teaching young Read more…
The long-awaited White Horse CAD DFM handbook has finally been launched. If you are designing products, you need a copy of this book. It covers content such as: Good modelling practice Turned parts Milled parts Sheet metal Process information Design intent Much much more
October 2022 Stats * A new record high We’re delighted with our project stats for this month. Thank you to our team for their work and our clients’ ongoing support.

This week’s blog post is a little different, but it nicely reflects what we have been working on for our clients this month. We have spent the month creating hundreds and hundreds of engineering drawings for our clients. While many of our clients understand engineering drawings and the standards we Read more…
Last week we worked on a project a little different from the norm. The image on the right shows some 3D prints lined up on top of a building plan. This helped a client play with “what if” scenarios and consider options by changing the position of 3D prints on Read more…
White Horse CAD will celebrate four years of trading on the 15th of August 2021. It’s been one hell of a journey; there have been highs and lows along the way, but White Horse CAD has survived them all, and we are planning for more growth within the next five Read more…
How often have you been working on a report or an engineering drawing and needed to add engineering characters that are not on the keyboard? Not sure what I mean? How about: If you found this helpful or useful and would like to receive more hints and tips in your Read more…
Did you know This week is National Apprenticeship Week? This really got me thinking about where I started my career and how things have moved forward since then. Hopefully, this blog post will help a young person make a step towards learning a trade or a business owner to decide Read more…
