Terrible Mobile Performance
The 3D model is too heavy, causing the browser to crash or the phone to overheat when users try to spin the vehicle.
Engineering the digital showroom
Vehicle Experience & Configurators
Let buyers configure their dream car in stunning 3D.
We engineer high-fidelity, WebGL-powered vehicle configurators that bring the dealership experience into the browser. Let your customers customize paint, wheels, and interiors in real-time, backed by bulletproof manufacturing logic.
- Build interactive 3D (Three.js) or highly-optimized 2D layered visualizers
- Enforce complex engineering constraints (preventing impossible builds)
- Deliver sub-second load times for massive visual assets
Slow, clunky configurators destroy brand prestige.
Automotive buyers expect a premium digital experience (like Tesla or Porsche). If your configurator takes 10 seconds to load, stutters on mobile, or allows them to build a car that you can't actually manufacture, you lose the sale.
Manufacturing Disconnect
Users select the "Sport Package" but the configurator lets them keep the standard wheels, resulting in an impossible order sent to the dealer.
Bland Visuals
The rendering engine lacks proper lighting and reflection maps, making a luxury vehicle's paint look flat and unappealing.
The deliverables
High-performance interactive rendering.
We combine stunning WebGL graphics with rigorous backend logic to ensure the car looks perfect and the order data is flawless.
WebGL / Three.js Rendering
Implementing high-fidelity 3D engines in the browser, complete with HDR lighting, reflections, and smooth camera controls.
Constraint Engine Architecture
Writing the backend algorithms that enforce manufacturing rules (e.g., "If you select the V8 engine, you must upgrade the brakes").
Asset Optimization pipelines
Compressing massive CAD files into highly optimized glTF models so the configurator loads instantly on a 4G cellular connection.
CRM & Dealer Handoff
Generating a unique "Build Code" and pushing the exact, structured JSON of the configured vehicle directly into Salesforce or the dealer management system.
Featured Automotive Build
Building an interactive 3D configurator that increased online reservations by 40%.
See how we built a lightning-fast WebGL showroom for a new EV startup, directly driving their pre-order campaign.

Luxury EV Digital Showroom
Bringing the concept car to life.
A luxury EV startup needed to take pre-orders for a vehicle that hadn't entered mass production yet. Their existing configurator was a slow, third-party plugin that crashed on mobile.
ChallengeThe CAD files from the engineering team were massive (2GB+), making them impossible to load in a web browser, and the lighting looked terrible on mobile screens.
BuildWe decimated the CAD files into highly optimized 10MB glTF models. We built a custom React/Three.js configurator with baked lighting maps, ensuring photorealistic reflections that ran at 60fps on iPhones.
ImpactThe configurator loaded in under 2 seconds. The immersive experience drove a 40% increase in users completing the flow and placing a $500 reservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Vehicle Configurators.
Answers covering 3D vs 2D, CAD optimization, and logic engines.
Should we build a true 3D (WebGL) configurator or use 2D images?
True 3D allows the user to pan the camera anywhere, which is incredibly immersive. However, it requires highly optimized 3D models. If you have 50 different wheel options and want absolute photorealism instantly, a "layered 2D" approach (stacking hundreds of pre-rendered PNGs dynamically) is often faster and cheaper.
How do you prevent a user from building an impossible car?
We build a "constraint engine" in the database. We map out all your engineering rules. If a user selects the "Off-Road Package", the frontend instantly disables the "Low-Profile Tires" option, preventing any manufacturing errors.
Can you use the CAD files from our engineering team?
Yes, but not directly. Raw CAD files (STEP, IGES) are designed for manufacturing and are far too heavy for a web browser. We run a process called "decimation" to strip out the internal engine components and optimize the exterior geometry into a lightweight web format (glTF/usdz).
How is the final price calculated?
The frontend app calculates the price dynamically as options are selected, pulling base prices and option costs either from a hardcoded CMS or directly via API from your ERP/Pricing engine.
What happens when the user clicks "Save Build"?
We generate a unique hash (a "Build Code") and save the exact JSON configuration to the database. The user gets a URL they can share with their spouse or take to a dealership, which instantly reloads their exact car.
