For metal and custom fabrication shops

Customers spec their part to the inch, and you get a ready-to-cut file.

We build parametric 3D models of your products, which means each model is built from your design rules instead of being drawn at one fixed size. When a customer changes a measurement, the model rebuilds itself in real time, so they see exactly what they're getting. The price follows your shop rates, and every order comes with a flat pattern ready for your CNC.

The problem

Every custom job starts with a long email and a sketch on a napkin.

Customers know what they need but struggle to describe it. Your team translates rough sketches into drawings, works out a price, and sends it back for approval, often more than once. Small custom jobs end up costing more time to quote than to build.

How a 3D configurator fixes this

A parametric 3D configurator lets customers design the exact part they need and see it before they order.

Customers see exactly what they're getting

Because the model is parametric, it reshapes itself the moment a customer changes the size, the material or the position of a fitting. They can check every detail before they order instead of guessing from a drawing.

The price follows your shop rates

Material, cutting, welding and fittings are priced from your own rates, so the price customers see is the price you would have quoted.

Orders come with the cut file

Every order includes a flat pattern drawn to the customer's dimensions, so it can go straight to the CNC after you check it.

Try it

Try the 3D configurator yourself.

The builder at the top of this page is the real thing, not a video. Try these steps, then picture your own products in it.

Open the full builder with prices →

Lock the volume, then drag one side and watch the others adjust to keep the capacity.
Open a fitting and snap it to an edge, or type its exact position.
Look at the tank from the bottom.
Download the DXF cut pattern for the tank you designed.

It works just as well on a phone.

Customers can size a part right from the shop floor.

What your customers can do

Customers can set exact dimensions, or enter a capacity and let the size adjust.
They can choose the material and sheet thickness.
They can place fittings and ports to the inch on any face.
They can add mounting tabs and brackets where they need them.

What we model for you

We build a parametric model from your product rules, so any size a customer enters produces a valid part that updates in real time.
We use your materials, shop rates and machine limits for the price and the checks.
We generate cut files and drawings that match the quote exactly.

Your plan includes 3D models of up to 3 or 5 of your products, built from your photos and specs, and you own the finished models.

Existing models

Already have 3D models of your products?

Send them to us. Most 3D models are made for pictures, not for building things with, so their parts are merged together, unlabeled, or missing the pieces that need to move. A builder needs every door, panel and finish to be a separate, named part that code can control, so a door can open and a finish can change when a customer picks it.

That's why we build bespoke models and why modeling is priced the way it is. If your existing models are built well enough to use, we'll use them, and they won't count toward the models your plan includes.

The math

Five extra jobs pay for the first year, and you save hours on every quote.

A typical custom job sells for around $8,000 and earns the shop about $2,000. The first year on our Standard plan, with up to 5 3D models included, costs about $8,100, so 5 extra orders cover it.

How it works

Creating a 3D configurator tailored to your business typically takes four to eight weeks.

You send your products
Send us photos, drawings or CAD files, along with every option, size and price rule. A 15-minute call is enough to get started.
We model them in 3D
We build each product to your measurements with your materials. Parts that move in real life, like doors, beds and seats, move in the model too.
We build your 3D configurator
We set up your options, pricing rules and branding on your site, with a checkout that works the way you sell.
You approve, and we launch
You try it on a private link and ask for changes, then it goes live. After launch, we host it, keep it secure and fix anything that breaks.

Questions

What metal and custom fabrication shops usually ask us.

What does parametric design mean?

A normal 3D model is drawn at one fixed size. A parametric model is built from rules, like how thick the walls are, how far fittings sit from an edge, and how the parts fit together. When a customer changes a measurement, the model rebuilds itself using those rules, so it's always accurate. The tank in the demo works this way, and the same approach works for any product you make to measure.

Our parts have rules about what's possible. Can the builder enforce them?

Yes. Minimum and maximum sizes, clearances around fittings and edges, and material limits are all built in. The builder warns customers before they order something you can't make.

Which file formats can it produce?

The demo produces a DXF flat pattern. We can produce the formats your machines and CAM software use, such as DXF, SVG or STEP.

We quote some jobs by hand. Can customers still use it?

Yes. Customers can send their design as a quote request instead of ordering, and you get a complete spec with the drawing attached.

Are our products too custom for a 3D configurator?

That's why we model your products instead of using a template. The tank demo places fittings to the inch, and the van demo folds a couch into a bed. If you can imagine it, we can build it in 3D.

Are the 3D models included?

Yes. Starter includes 3D models of up to 3 of your products and Standard up to 5. A model is one product, style or part, like a shed style, a pool shape or a van galley. Each model after that is $500. Every model is built from your actual products and set up so code can control it, with each door, panel and finish as a separate, labeled part, and you own the models.

We already have 3D models. Can you use them?

Send them to us and we'll take a look. Models made for renderings usually need rework before a builder can control them, but if yours are built well enough to use, we'll use them, and they won't count toward the models your plan includes.

Do I need Shopify?

No. The 3D configurator embeds into any website, including WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow and custom sites. On those, customers can pay through Stripe, in full or as a deposit, or send a quote request. If you do use Shopify, Starter adds the builder to your current store and Standard rebuilds your store on Shopify.

Can I change prices myself?

Yes. You can edit prices, option names and lead times, and turn options on or off, at any time. Adding new 3D parts is a small project that we quote up front.

How long does it take?

Most builders launch in four to eight weeks, depending on how many products we model.

What does the monthly plan cover?

It covers hosting, security, the software that runs your 3D configurator, and fixing anything that breaks, including keeping it working as Shopify and web browsers change. You can change prices, option names and lead times yourself at any time. If you want new options, 3D parts or products added, we quote that work before we start.

What if I cancel?

You can cancel with 30 days' notice. You keep your content and the 3D models of your products, and the builder itself, which is licensed through the monthly plan, goes offline.
