Case Study: Herbst Produkt achieves effortless photorealism and a streamlined design workflow with KeyShot

Herbst Produkt - Customer Case Study

Herbst Produkt is a multi‑generational industrial design studio founded by Walter Herbst and led by Creative Director Scot Herbst, with offices in San Francisco, Chicago and Shanghai and a client list that includes Sephora, The Home Depot, Crate & Barrel and Clorox. Their challenge was to produce consistent, photorealistic visuals quickly across the entire product lifecycle—design, engineering, branding, marketing and retail—so ideas could be presented and iterated faster and more convincingly.

By integrating KeyShot with their SolidWorks workflow, Herbst Produkt achieved seamless, fast photorealism that revolutionized how they work and present concepts. The studio now produces high‑quality visuals throughout development, accelerating time to market, strengthening brand presentations and enabling more effective client communication and education.
