🚀 How to Actually Start with a 3D Configurator

(Without Losing Your Mind or Your Margins) Launch Your 3D Configurator

Rolling out a 3D configurator doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Our five-phase roadmap ensures a smooth, structured, and high-impact implementation - built to scale with your business.

1. ✍️ Write It Down – Clean Your Offer

You cannot build logic on chaos.

Start with a spreadsheet.
List product groups worth customizing.
Assign attributes to each (fabric, finish, size, hardware).
Drop anything you haven’t sold in 18 months.
Standardize where you can.

Why it matters: Configurator isn’t magic. If your offer is a mess, it will automate the mess—and multiply it.

2. 🛋 Start with a Hero Product

Pick one product. The one that gets asked about most.
Build that first. Get it right. Let your team play with it. Show it to a few clients.

Why it matters: Small wins are better than  big failures.

3. 🔗 Connect It to Reality

No one wants another tool that lives in a silo.

Figure out what this configurator is actually supposed to do:

  • Quote? → Connect to pricing logic
  • Guide sales? → Link to CRM
  • Generate production files? → Integrate ERP, nesting, BOM export

Why it matters: A 3D preview without order data is just a toy.

4. 📣 Train Your People. Then Tell the World.

Make sure your showroom staff, sales reps, and even marketing interns know how to use it. And what it’s for. Then talk about it. Use it in emails. Film it for your social. Put it front and center on your homepage.

Why it matters: Most brands forget to launch the thing internally, let alone promote it externally.

5. 🔁 Optimize, Don’t Abandon

Once live, watch what happens.
What variants convert best? Where do people get stuck? What requests keep popping up?

Tweak visuals. Improve logic. Add another SKU.
Use the configurator to learn what your customers really want.

Why it matters: A good configurator isn’t a tool. It’s a feedback loop.

Final Word:

The hardest part isn’t the tech.
It’s cleaning your offer, aligning your team, and making decisions. Do that right, and the configurator becomes your best sales representative.
