The 3D spinning on screen is the part you see. What is worth money is what comes out of it: the PDF the customer shows at home, the order sheet the factory reads without interpreting, the dimensioned drawing for the installer, the cutting list that goes into the cutting machine. Which document each level of configurator generates, who receives it and what it has to carry so that nobody has to write it out again.
Documents to decide with, and to convince whoever was not there.
The configuration as they saw it, with the sizes, the finishes, the items that make up the price and the site notes. With your brand or, if a distributor is selling, with theirs. In the kitchen demo, with the proposal and the drawings in the same PDF.
The configuration is saved and opens from any device: the customer shows it to their partner or opens it again in the shop. By WhatsApp or by email, with the QR code on the PDF.
The PDF for the residents' meeting in terrace enclosures; the comparison between two models in mattresses; the order by sizes and units for hotels in bedrooms. What each sector needs for the customer to decide.
The documents that turn the configuration into production without anyone writing it out again.
When the configurator calculates the cutting list, what comes out goes into the machine.
Every profile with its cut length and its angle, every glass panel with its sizes, every fitting with its reference, calculated with your rules: profile deductions per series, clearances, weight limits. See automatic cutting list: profile cuts and glass sizes.
The DXF with the geometry for the cutting or optimisation software; the CSV with the order lines for the management software. Which software you use and which columns it expects are defined at the start of the project.
The cutting list is validated against orders already manufactured: the configurator has to give the same sizes in each one. Those cases are stored and run again every time a rule is touched. See how a technical configurator is validated and technical configurator with cutting list.
The three levels (visual, with rules and price, technical) differ above all in the documents they generate.
| Document | Who receives it | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 01 · Quote PDF with image | Customer | Visual (no price) · with rules and price |
| 02 · Link and QR code for the configuration | Customer, shop, distributor | Visual |
| 03 · PDF for residents' association, comparison, hotel order | Customer | With rules and price |
| 04 · Order sheet with references and quantities | Factory and office | With rules and price |
| 05 · Workshop sheet, dimensioned drawing, bill of materials | Factory, fitter | With rules and price · technical |
| 06 · Cutting list and cut list | Factory | Technical |
| 07 · DXF and CSV | Machine and management software | Technical |
| Requests in the panel, CSV and email alert | Sales office | All |
Development starts from €6,500 for a visual configurator of one product family; most manufacturer projects fall between €14,500 and €35,000, depending on catalogue, rules and integrations, plus maintenance from €190/month. What marks the jump between levels is, above all, which documents have to come out and what they are validated against.

The configuration as they saw it on screen, with the sizes, the finishes, the items that make up the indicative price and the site notes, with your brand or the distributor's. A link and a QR code let them open it again and show it.
The order sheet is the list of what was ordered with reference, description and quantity, for the factory and the office. The workshop sheet goes down to the parts: every module or every component with its sizes, decor and edging, for whoever makes it.
At the technical level, yes: the cut list with sizes and angles, the glass sizes, the fittings and the DXF and CSV for the cutting or management software. It is validated against your orders already manufactured before publishing.
Yes. The PDFs come out with your brand and, if you allow it, with that of the distributor or the shop serving the customer. The order sheet and the factory documents always carry your references.
By email with the request, as PDF, and from the panel, where every request stays with its status and its documents; requests export to CSV. The direct connection to your management software is developed in the project.
Development starts from €6,500 for a visual configurator of one product family; most manufacturer projects fall between €14,500 and €35,000, depending on catalogue, rules and integrations, plus maintenance from €190/month. The PDF with the image is at the visual level; the order sheet and the drawing, at the level with rules and price; the cutting list, DXF and CSV, at the technical level.

Generate the documents yourself in the open demos: the kitchen PDF with drawings, the residents' association one in terrace enclosures, the summary with cutting list in pergolas. No sign-up, with sample products and prices, at configurador.grup3d.es/demo.
With your documents in front of you? Send us an order sheet and, if you have one, a cutting list from a real order, and in a 20-minute video call we will see what would have to come out of the configurator so that the factory never retypes anything again. No commitment.
