3D Configurator for WooCommerce: How It Works
A 3D configurator turns a traditional product page into a workflow where customers can upload a model, review it and define how they want it manufactured.
Model upload
The process starts by allowing common formats such as STL, OBJ or 3MF. The file should remain associated with the customer's configuration and later with the order.
Preview
A 3D preview helps confirm that the correct file was uploaded and lets customers review scale, orientation and dimensions before continuing.
Manufacturing parameters
- Material.
- Color.
- Quality or layer height.
- Infill.
- Quantity.
- Supports.
- Post-processing.
Price calculation
The configurator can combine geometric model data with selected options and store pricing rules to generate an automatic quote.
Cart and checkout
The result should integrate with the standard WooCommerce flow. The customer adds the configured job to the cart and continues with the usual payment and checkout methods.
Production data
For workshop use, the order should preserve not only the final price but also the file and the technical parameters used during configuration.
