3D Product Configurators
Your catalogue has hundreds of combinations and every quote takes days of back-and-forth. A 3D configurator turns the CAD models you already own into a sales tool.

The problem
The problem
Anyone manufacturing to order knows it: between "I might be interested" and the quote lie days of emails, calls, sketches and misunderstandings. Sales translates between the customer and the technical office, and every step costs time and introduces errors.
Meanwhile, the 3D models of your products already exist: they live in Inventor, in STEP files, in bills of materials. A technical asset that today serves only production — and could be selling.
A configurator brings those models into the browser: the customer composes the product, sees the result in real time, and the request that reaches you is already complete with variants and dimensions. We did it for Ho.Re.Ca. manufacturing, where configurable products are the rule.
Live demo
Try it: this is a configurator.
Professional parasol, real 3D model. Rotate it, zoom in, change the fabric: what you see is exactly what your customer would do with your catalogue.

The benefits
What you gain, concretely.
- V/01
Quotes in hours, not days
The request arrives already defined: variants, colours, dimensions. The technical office starts from a complete configuration, not a phone call.
- V/02
Qualified requests
Someone who configures a product piece by piece is not a casual browser: they are well along the decision. Sales talks to people who know what they want.
- V/03
Fewer order errors
Compatibility rules live inside the configurator: impossible combinations cannot be selected. Errors stop before they reach production.
- V/04
Your existing CAD, at work
We start from your existing Inventor/STEP models: optimised for the web, not redrawn from scratch. Your design investment pays off twice.
- V/05
Visible distance from competitors
While others send PDFs, your customer plays with the product in the browser. In traditional sectors the effect on perception is immediate.
- V/06
Works everywhere
Browser, tablet at a trade fair, showroom: nothing to install. One tool serves the website, the sales network and events.
How we work
Our working method, step by step.
-
Product analysis
We map variants, compatibility rules and pricing logic with your technical office. The configurator is correct if the rules are.
-
Model preparation
Production CAD gets optimised for the web: lightened geometry, realistic materials, fast loading even on mobile.
-
Configurator development
An interface tailored to your sales process: clear steps, fluid 3D preview, complete final summary.
-
Workflow integration
The configuration lands where it is needed: structured email, CRM or ERP. No manual re-typing.
-
Testing and release
Trials with real cases together with your sales team, corrections, go-live and training. Then catalogue evolution over time.
FAQ
The questions we hear most often.
No: we start from the models you already use in production (Inventor, STEP and similar formats) and optimise them for the web. Redrawing from scratch is needed only in edge cases — and if so, we tell you during analysis, not mid-project.
Yes: the configurator runs in any modern browser, including tablets and smartphones. For the customer it is a link, not a software — and that makes all the difference in real adoption.
They are the heart of the project: constraints between variants, dependent dimensions, conditional accessories. The rules are formalised with your technical office and the configurator enforces them automatically, blocking impossible combinations.
Yes: prices, variants and availability live in an editable data structure, covered in training. For structural changes (new product families, new rules) we step in.
It depends on the number of products, rule complexity and required integrations. After the catalogue analysis you receive a phased quote: you can start with a pilot product family and extend only on verified results.
You: configurations and contacts land in your systems (email, CRM, ERP), not on third-party platforms. They are your leads and your commercial asset.
