3D Product Configurator Development

EVERY OPTION,SEEN INREAL TIME

We build browser-based 3D configurators that let buyers choose options, see the exact product from every angle and send a priced, buildable specification to your sales or commerce system.

01Our Approach

A configurator succeeds when every combination a buyer can click is one your factory can build and your team can price.

02Overview

Products buyers can configure, see and order

  • 01Real-time 3D
  • 02Option rules
  • 03Quote output

A 3D product configurator shows a product in real time while the buyer changes size, material, color and components. We prepare the 3D models, build the viewer and option interface, encode the rules that keep choices valid, calculate prices and produce a summary that flows into a quote, a cart or your ERP. It runs in the browser on phones and desktops.

It suits manufacturers and brands with configurable products, such as furniture, vehicles, machinery, kitchens, windows or equipment, where photographs cannot cover every variant and sales staff spend time explaining options. If your catalog has a few fixed variants, good photography may serve better. We size the first version around the options that matter most in a sale.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Model preparation

CAD or design files are converted into light, accurate web models with clean geometry, compressed textures and materials that look right under changing light.

02
Real-time viewer

A WebGL viewer built with Three.js lets buyers rotate, zoom and open parts smoothly, with lighting, shadows and reflections tuned for the product.

03
Option and rule engine

Dependencies, exclusions and limits between options are encoded as data your team can edit, so impossible combinations never reach an order.

04
Pricing and quotes

Each choice updates the price from your price lists or an API, and the final configuration becomes a quote document or an order line.

05
Commerce and ERP links

Configurations are sent to Shopify, a custom store, a CRM or an ERP with the part numbers and bill of materials each system expects.

06
Augmented reality view

Where it helps the decision, buyers place the configured product in their own room through WebXR, Scene Viewer or Quick Look on their phone.

Models and look
03
Rules and pricing
04
Integrate and launch
01
Scope the options

We review the product range, the rules that govern combinations and how quotes are made today, then select the product line and option set for the first release.

02
Models and look

Source files are converted and optimized, materials and lighting are developed, and one product is taken to final visual quality as the reference for the rest.

03
Rules and pricing

Option logic and prices are implemented as editable data and tested against real past orders, including the unusual combinations your sales team knows about from experience.

04
Integrate and launch

The configurator is connected to your store or quoting process, measured for speed on ordinary phones, and released with tracking of which options buyers explore and choose.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Your product has more variants than you can photograph

Buyers want to see their exact combination before they commit, and your team answers the same option questions on every call. Quotes are assembled by hand and sometimes describe a product that cannot be built. A configurator can show, validate and price each choice.

Vehicles, trailers and boats

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

It should, and we design for that from the start. Models are simplified and compressed, textures are sized for mobile screens and the viewer adjusts its detail to the device. We test on ordinary phones over mobile networks, set limits for loading size and frame rate, and offer a still image fallback where 3D is not supported.

Yes. Engineering CAD is usually far too heavy for the web, so we convert it, remove hidden parts, rebuild surfaces where needed and create materials. STEP, IGES, SolidWorks and similar formats are all workable starting points. Where no digital model exists, we can model from drawings and photographs, and you review accuracy before it is used.

They are stored as data, separate from the code. Your team can edit options, dependencies and prices in an admin screen, or we synchronize them from your ERP or product information system. Changes can be previewed before publishing. This keeps the configurator accurate when the range changes without a developer for each update.

Yes. The finished configuration is translated into what each system needs, such as a cart item in Shopify, an opportunity in a CRM or a bill of materials in an ERP. We agree on the mapping with the people who process orders, so a configured product arrives as something production can act on without retyping.

If your product has a small number of variants, pre-rendered images are cheaper and load instantly. A real-time configurator earns its cost when combinations run into the hundreds, when buyers need to inspect details, or when valid choices and pricing must be calculated. We can also combine both, with renders for standard models and 3D for custom ones.
