1. Customer Selects Product & Options
Your website or portal displays a clean interface where users can:
- Choose the product type
- Select variants (gearbox model, frame size, material, etc.)
- Change dimensions, mounting style, orientation, and more
- All rules and dependencies are built into the configurator
Benefits: No invalid selections, no engineering intervention required.
2. Real-Time 3D Model Updates Instantly
As the user changes inputs, the 3D model updates in real-time:
- Rotatable, zoomable, interactive
- High-quality rendering
- Shows the exact configured product
- Works on desktop, mobile, or embedded inside any webpage
Result: This allows customers to visualize the product before ordering.
3. CAD Model Is Generated Automatically
The moment the configuration is valid, the system generates:
- STEP
- IGES
- Parasolid
- Native CAD (optional)
- STL
- DXF (for sheet metal)
Key Point: All geometry is generated programmatically using your parametric rules.
4. 2D Drawings & Technical Docs Are Created
The configurator also outputs:
- Fully dimensioned 2D drawings
- Assembly drawings
- Part lists
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Specification sheets (PDF)
Advantage: No engineer needs to manually draft anything.
5. Customer Downloads Files or Requests a Quote
Once the configuration is complete, the customer can:
- Download CAD
- Download drawings
- Download spec sheet
- Send the configuration to sales
- Request a quote instantly
- Add to CPQ workflow (if integrated)
Impact: This drastically reduces the time from Inquiry → quotation → order.
6. Your Team Receives a Production-Ready Package
Sales or engineering receives an automatically generated data bundle:
- Configured CAD model
- 2D drawings
- BOM
- Configuration parameters
- Quote details
- Order information (via CPQ/ERP)
Value: It provides a single, trusted source of truth that keeps engineering, sales, and production fully aligned.
