How we redefined Fogia’s “Bond Series” through Real-Time 3D Customization
Fogia is a well known design company, especially recognized for its high-quality craftsmanship and elegant, functional furniture. They sought a solution that would allow their customers to fully customize their “Bond” shelving unit series online.
The challenge was to create a user-friendly, real-time 3D configurator that could handle the complexity of their products while remaining fast and responsive.
Creating the Perfect Customization Tool
We developed a 3D configurator for Fogia’s “Bond” series that lets customers easily design their own shelving units online. We wanted to make sure the tool is intuitive and user-friendly, enabling users to select materials, colors and easily add og remove shelves in real-time.
As Fogia’s customers make adjustments, the configurator instantly updates the 3D model, showing them exactly what their customized shelf will look like. This makes the design process straightforward and enjoyable, giving customers full control over creating a product that fits their personal style and needs.
Dynamic 3D Models
One of the standout features of the Fogia configurator is that you are able to create millions of unique combinations for the “Bond” shelf. This capability is driven by the dynamic 3D models we have developed. Rather than relying on pre-built, static models, our system generates each configuration on the fly.
As users select different materials, colors, and components, the configurator updates only the necessary parts, ensuring that the process is both smooth and efficient. This dynamic generation approach not only supports an immense variety of combinations but also enhances the overall speed and responsiveness of the tool, providing a user-friendly experience.
Hybrid Interaction Model
A key element that makes the Fogia configurator stand out is the hybrid interaction model. Unlike traditional configurators where all adjustments are made through a static interface, this configurator lets users interact directly with the 3D model itself.
Fogia’s customers can modify the shelving unit by clicking on the actual components, changing colors, materials, and adding or removing shelves in real-time. At the same time, additional settings are available through a side panel, providing a more traditional UI.
This combination of direct interaction with the 3D model and sidebar controls makes the customization process feel seamless and engaging. It lets users easily adjust their designs in a natural way while keeping the interface simple and easy to use.
Speed and Efficiency
Thanks to the dynamic generations of 3D models, the configurator is highly efficient. Instead of reloading entire models, only the specific parts that the user interacts with are updated.
This results in faster loading times and a smooth experience. Customers are able to try different combinations of materials, colors and layouts without any delays, making the customization process quick and enjoyable.
Key Features of the Configurator
The configurator offers several helpful features to enhance the user experience. Customers can save their configurations and share them with others. Once a customization is complete, users can download a PDF of their design for reference. Additionally, the configurator provides clear dimensions, making the design process straightforward even for users who are new to customization tools.
