Looking for a seamless way to let customers design your modular and customizable products online? Our visual product configuration platform makes it easy to design and purchase products in real time.

This guide shows how our 3D Product Configurator helps marketing, sales, and eCommerce teams drive conversions, reduce returns, shorten sales cycles, and deliver a standout customer experience. 

What is a 3D Product Configurator?

3D product configurator is an interactive tool that allows customers to customize products visually in 3D.

For example, if you sell made-to-order sofas, your customers can independently design their own sofa by choosing fabrics, swap modules, and see their custom design instantly in 3D.

At the same time, the tool checks that every combination follows your manufacturing rules and updates the pricing in realtime.

In short, our platform is:

✅ A visual sales tool that brings customization to life

✅ A productivity tool that automates configuration, pricing, and quoting

✅ A customer experience enhancer that reduces uncertainty and increases engagement

Who is it for?

Our 3D product configuration platform is designed for:

✅ eCommerce & marketing teams – looking to increase conversions, reduce returns, and create interactive online experiences.

✅ Brands & manufacturers – selling customizable or modular products (furniture, interior design, vehicles, industrial equipment etc.)

✅ Sales teams & distributors –needing a visual tool to simplify complex quoting and product selection.

✅ Retailers & dealers –offering customization in-store or online

If your customers have ever said: “I wish I could see it before buying” - our configurator solves that!
