Case Study: Terrible Herbst Fabrication achieves first-place, faster and lighter trophy trucks with Solid Edge

Digital Transformation fuels Terrible Herbst Motorsports to first place

Terrible Herbst Fabrication, a family-run trophy‑truck team competing at the highest levels of off‑road racing, needed to push vehicle performance while cutting weight and costs in a sport where margins between winners are tiny. To modernize their engineering workflow they adopted Solid Edge (working with partner Hall Designs) to bring CAD and digital stress‑analysis tools into their design process.

Using Solid Edge, Terrible Herbst Fabrication implemented digital design and simulation workflows that produced lighter, more aerodynamic and stronger components. Those engineering gains translated into faster, more reliable trucks, lower costs and — as the team reports — continued racing success, with wins and championships following the improvements driven by Solid Edge.
