A 3D configurator for glass walls and movable partitions, drawn into the customer's room

A glass partition is hard to picture from a catalogue. The customer is buying for a specific opening, and they cannot tell from a product photo how the muntin split or the profile colour will read in their own room. So the quote turns into a week of emails, and some of them go cold.

I build custom 3D configurators, and partition systems are one of the clearest cases for one. Here is why, and what it looks like.

The problem is the opening, not the product

Loft-style partitions, movable and sliding walls and office glazing are made to measure. Two things decide the sale: how it looks in the actual space, and the exact price for that configuration. A static catalogue answers neither, so the manufacturer ends up quoting by hand and the buyer ends up guessing.

A configurator removes both unknowns at once. The customer sets the opening size, the muntin layout, the profile colour and the door type, and the wall is drawn into a real room with the price updating on every change.

What it does

• Drawn into a real room. The partition renders in a room at the customer's opening size, so they see the exact division, profile colour and door before they commit, not a stock photo of a different wall.
• Live, server-side pricing. Opening, muntins, profile and door recalculate the price on the server. Your margins never reach the browser.
• Fixed, sliding and movable types. Each with its own rules for sizes, hardware and glazing, so the customer cannot configure something you do not make.
• A technical output. The finished configuration returns a spec for production, and the order flows into your shop or CRM. The code is yours, data in the EU.

See it running

I put a loft glass-wall configurator online as a live demonstrator you can click with no sign-up. Change the opening, the muntins, the profile colour and the door, and watch it draw into the room and reprice: scianka3d.grodev.pl. The longer write-up is on the glass wall configurator page, and the full set of ten configurators is on the main configurator page.

To be straight: that is my own demonstrator, not a client rollout. I show it so the mechanics stop being a promise before anyone pays for a build.

What it costs

• From EUR 15,000 for one product line with real-time 3D in a room and live pricing.
• EUR 25,000 to 50,000 for fixed, sliding and movable types with a variant catalogue, an admin panel and shop or ERP integration.

One fixed price after a short call. One-off, no subscription. Against an off-the-shelf SaaS at EUR 8,000 to 100,000 per year, a one-off build usually pays for itself inside 12 to 24 months.

FAQ

What can it configure?
Glass walls, loft partitions, movable and sliding walls, office glazing and room dividers. Opening size, muntin layout, profile colour and door type, drawn into a real room with live pricing.

Can the customer see it in their own space?
Yes. The partition is drawn into a real room at their opening size, so they judge the division and colour instead of guessing from a photo.

Where do the 3D models come from?
If you have CAD or 3D files, we use them. If not, I build parametric models, which suit profile systems well, so the wall resizes and recolours without a separate render per variant.

Does it export a spec for production?
Yes. The finished configuration returns a production spec, and the order carries the full configuration into your shop or CRM.

Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit, on your repository and hosting. No subscription, no vendor lock-in.
