3D Configurator Development, Built by the Developer You Talk To
Custom Three.js and WebGL configurators for sales teams and training programs, from $4,999 with a fixed quote, and you own the result.
What Is 3D Configurator Development?
3D configurator development is the design and programming of an interactive 3D tool that lets someone explore, configure, or train on a product directly in the browser. ComeFigure builds these as custom projects in Three.js and WebGL, starting at $4,999 with a fixed quote. A typical build takes 4 to 6 weeks, runs on any phone, tablet, or desktop without plugins, and the full source code is handed over to you at the end.
That last part matters. Most of this market is rented software. Ours is a development service: you commission the tool, we build it, and when it's done it belongs to you.
We focus on two kinds of builds: 3D sales tools that help reps and dealers show a physical product, and training configurators that let teams practice procedures safely. If you searched for product configurator development services, a Three.js developer for hire, or a development company that shows its work before asking for a call, you're in the right place. The demos further down this page are live client projects you can open right now.
What We Build
Our product configurator development services center on two jobs: helping sales teams sell physical products, and helping training teams teach without the physical risk.
Sales Configurators & Demos
Interactive 3D demos your reps share before, during, and after sales calls. Buyers rotate the product, configure options, and walk through environments at a link.
Training Simulations
Browser-based simulations for safety procedures, equipment operation, and hazard recognition. Trainees practice scenarios that would be expensive or dangerous in real life.
Quoting & Spec Configurators
Tools where dealers, resellers, or internal teams configure exact orders visually, with the option logic and pricing rules your product actually follows.
The sales side usually starts with a problem like this: the product is too big to ship to meetings, the option list is too long to explain over a screen share, or the person who saw the demo has to convince five colleagues who didn't. A configurator at a link fixes all three. The buyer explores the product on their own time, configures the version their department cares about, and forwards the link to whoever signs off.
The training side is the same technology pointed at a different problem. Some things are expensive, disruptive, or genuinely dangerous to practice in real life: fire hazards, equipment lockout procedures, machine setup. A browser-based simulation lets people run the scenario as many times as they need, make mistakes safely, and get scored on what they spotted and what they missed. No travel, no downtime on real equipment, no waiting for the next scheduled session.
The same builds also embed on product pages when online ordering is part of the picture. More on that on the e-commerce use case page.
Custom 3D Configurator Development vs. a SaaS Subscription
Before hiring anyone, you should know the alternative: SaaS configurator platforms that rent you a template-based tool for a monthly fee. Sometimes that's the right answer, and any development company that won't say so is selling, not advising.
The two models split on one question: do you want to rent a configurator or own one? Renting is faster to start and slower to stop costing money. Owning costs more on day one and then mostly stops costing anything. Here's the comparison laid out honestly.
| Custom build (ComeFigure) | SaaS platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | One fixed quote, from $4,999 | Low entry, often setup fees on top |
| 3-year cost | The project price plus ordinary hosting | Roughly $19,000 to $38,000 at published mid-tier rates |
| Code ownership | You own the source code outright | You rent; cancel and it's gone |
| Per-seat or usage fees | None | Common at higher traffic or user counts |
| Design limits | Whatever the browser can render | Your product bends to the template |
| If the platform shuts down | Nothing changes, the code is yours | Your configurator disappears with it |
The math is worth stating plainly: SaaS configurator platforms publicly charge roughly $550 to $1,050 per month at mid tiers (VividWorks, for example, publishes $547 to $1,047 per month), which works out to $19,000 to $38,000 over three years, while a custom build starts at $4,999 one time plus ordinary hosting.
The honest caveat: if you need a templated configurator live in days and your product fits a standard template, SaaS is the right call. Custom wins when the product, the sales process, or the training scenario doesn't fit a template, which is most of the projects that land on our desk.
Live Client Work You Can Try Right Now
These are real builds for real clients, running in your browser this second. Click one and judge the work yourself.
Hillrom (now Baxter)
A hospital space configurator the sales team uses to demo beds and equipment without arranging on-site visits.
QVIS
A security camera configurator dealers use to spec branded cameras, with logo upload and color options.
Empiric
A fire hazard training game used for fire safety training, where trainees spot hazards in a realistic 3D environment.
Jordan Golf
A studio configurator customers use to design their own golf studio, from layout to finishes.
Each of these started the same way: a company with a product that was hard to show, a scope call, and a fixed quote. If they load fast and feel solid on your device, that's the standard your project gets too.
How a Development Project Works
Most builds go from first conversation to live in 4 to 6 weeks. You won't disappear into a black box for two months: you see the actual tool every week, on a live link, and course corrections happen while they're still cheap. Here's the shape of a project.
Scope Call & Fixed Quote
You walk us through your product and what the tool needs to do: which options, which workflows, which integrations. We send a clear scope document with a fixed price. No hourly billing, no open-ended estimates.
3D Assets
If you have CAD files or existing 3D models, we convert and optimize them for the browser. If you only have photos and drawings, we model the product from scratch. Either way, you approve the models before development starts.
Build with Weekly Check-ins
The configurator gets built in Three.js, with the option logic, pricing rules, or training scenarios wired in. You see progress every week on a live link, not in a slide deck at the end.
Review Rounds
Your team tests the tool on their own devices, against real sales conversations or training sessions. We adjust until it does the job it was scoped to do.
Launch & Handover
The tool goes live and you get the code repository, the 3D assets, and documentation. Hosting runs on your infrastructure or ours, whichever you prefer.
Built in Three.js and WebGL, Handed Over as Your Code
Everything we build runs on WebGL, the 3D rendering standard built into every modern browser, through the Three.js library. WebGL configurator development means there's nothing for your buyers or trainees to install: no app store, no plugin, no headset. If they can open a web page, they can use the tool, on a desktop in the office or a phone in the field.
Performance gets specific attention because your buyers won't all have gaming laptops. Textures are compressed, geometry is optimized for the web rather than dumped straight from CAD, and quality adapts to the device, so the same build runs smoothly on a five-year-old phone and looks sharp on a conference room screen. We test on real devices, not just browser emulators.
"You own it" is specific, not a slogan. At handover you get the full source code, the 3D assets, and documentation for both. There are no license fees, no subscription, and no dependency on us staying in business. You can host it anywhere, hand it to your internal dev team, or come back to us for changes. Your choice, every time.
One more thing this covers: if you came here looking to hire a Three.js developer rather than commission a full project, that works too. Companies sometimes bring us in for Three.js or WebGL work on an existing product, whether that's performance fixes, new features, or finishing a build another team started. Same scoping process, same fixed quote.
Who This Is For
Most of our clients are US small and mid-size manufacturers, equipment makers, and training teams. Companies with a physical product that's hard to demo, options that confuse buyers on paper, or procedures that are expensive to teach in person. Big enough to need a real tool, small enough that a six-figure enterprise platform makes no sense.
When you work with ComeFigure, you work directly with the founder who writes the code: Moreno le Comte, with 10+ years in 3D. No account managers, no handoffs between a sales team and an offshore dev team, no telephone game. The person you scope the project with is the person who builds it. More about that on the about page.
It also means we'll tell you when this isn't a fit. A product with three colors and no real configuration doesn't need a custom build, and a team that needs something live next week is better served by a template. If that's your situation, you'll hear it on the first call instead of in a proposal.
What Does It Cost?
Projects start at $4,999, and you get a fixed quote before anything starts. Four things move the price: the number of options and configurations, whether 3D assets already exist or need to be modeled, integrations like quoting tools or your CRM, and how much scenario logic a training build needs.
A single product with existing CAD files and a clean option set lands near the starting price. A multi-product dealer tool with live quoting, or a training simulation with branching scenarios and scoring, lands higher. Either way the quote is fixed before work begins, and bug fixes are included for 3 months after launch.

3D Configurator Development FAQ
How much does 3D configurator development cost?
Projects start at $4,999 with a fixed quote. Where yours lands depends on the number of options and configurations, whether 3D models already exist, and how deep the integrations go. You see the full price before any work starts, and there is no hourly billing.
How long does a custom configurator take to build?
Most projects go live in 4 to 6 weeks. A single product with a manageable set of options lands at the short end. Multi-product builds, training scenario logic, or deep integrations take longer, and the proposal includes a realistic timeline before you commit.
Can we hire you for Three.js or WebGL work on an existing project?
Yes. Companies sometimes bring us in to add features, fix performance problems, or extend a configurator another team built. If your product already runs on Three.js or WebGL, we can work inside your existing codebase rather than starting over.
Who owns the code when the project is done?
You do. At handover you get the full source code, the 3D assets, and documentation. There are no license fees and no required subscription. You can host it anywhere and have any developer maintain it.
What if we don't have 3D models of our product?
That's common and not a problem. If you have CAD files, we convert and optimize them for the browser. If you only have photos or technical drawings, we model the product from scratch, and you approve the models before development starts.
Do you build training simulations as well as sales configurators?
Yes, training tools are a core part of what we do. We build browser-based simulations for safety procedures, equipment operation, and hazard recognition, like the fire hazard training game we built for Empiric. Same stack, different goal.
Where is the finished configurator hosted?
Wherever you want. Most clients host it on their own infrastructure or embed it in their existing site, since it's standard web code. If you'd rather not deal with hosting, we can host it for you for an ordinary hosting fee, with no platform lock-in.
