Terrible Herbst Motorsports Uses Solid Edge for Design and Manufacturing
One of the most grueling racing circuits on the planet is trophy truck racing. Reaching speeds of 150 miles per hour, trucks must be equipped with parts (and people!) that can take serious abuse. Between the heat of the desert and the impact of becoming airborne over rough terrain, the engineering team behind these trucks must anticipate every condition imaginable. Terrible Herbst Motorsports is a premiere fabricator that has found success in its manufacturing process by leveraging Solid Edge and a suite of Siemens solutions. Watch the video to learn more.
Terrible Herbst Motorsports has built a legacy in off-road racing by pushing the envelope at every turn. Their team of fabricators, engineers and designers focuses on innovation whenever they take on a new project for their vehicles. In this video you’ll see how they approached the implementation of a new part by leveraging Solid Edge, 3D printing and simulation. This accelerated their time to production and eliminated expensive prototypes.
When asked about the impact of Siemens software solutions, Craig Hall says, “Trophy truck races are won by as little as 5 seconds. To pinpoint troublesome areas and make small design changes and see those results right away is very satisfying. It can save us that five seconds, and five seconds is the difference between and win or lose today. Solid Edge and digital transformation allows us to take all the tools that we have available to us with CAD drawing work, CFD, the technical publications and implement all that into our trophy truck program.”
