3D product configurator software for products you actually print
Online 3D product configurator for web-to-print and eCommerce. Customers design in 2D, see it live in 3D, and you get a print-ready file. 0% commission.
Short answer: A 3D product configurator is software that lets shoppers customize a product online (colors, parts, artwork, text) and see the result on an interactive 3D model before they buy. Prexaya adds one to Shopify, WooCommerce or any site, and turns each finished design into a print-ready file, with flat monthly pricing and 0% commission per order.
Key takeaways
- Customers design in a 2D editor and see every change on a rotating 3D model in real time.
- Each order comes with a production file: 300 DPI PDF, SVG or PNG, plus UV map export for all-over prints.
- Works for apparel, bags, drinkware, packaging and promotional products.
- Flat plans (free Sandbox, $29 Starter, $69 Pro, $199 Enterprise) with 0% commission, so cost does not grow with sales.
What a 3D product configurator does
Flat mockups leave shoppers guessing how a logo wraps around a mug or sits on a backpack pocket. A 3D configurator removes the guess: the customer rotates, zooms and inspects the exact product they are ordering, with their own artwork on it.
In Prexaya the 2D design canvas and the 3D model are linked. Text, images, clipart and colors placed on the canvas are projected onto the model’s UV map instantly, so the preview matches what is printed.
Built for production, not just the preview
A preview only helps if the file behind it is printable. Prexaya keeps print areas, safe zones and bleed visible while customers design, warns about low-resolution uploads, and exports the final artwork at print resolution.
- Print-safe zones with an “Outside print area” warning
- 300 DPI PDF, SVG and high-resolution PNG output
- UV map export for all-over sublimation and cut-and-sew
- Multi-side and multi-part products (front, back, sleeves, lids, panels)
Where it fits
Print shops use it to take custom orders online without back-and-forth proofs. Brands use it to sell personalized products directly. Manufacturers use it to let B2B buyers configure parts and materials before quoting.
How it works
- Upload or pick a 3D model. Use a GLB/GLTF model of your product or start from a ready-made blank.
- Set print areas and options. Define printable zones, colors, materials and parts customers can change.
- Embed on your store. Connect Shopify, WooCommerce or add the embed to any web page.
- Receive print-ready orders. Every order arrives with the design file attached, ready for production.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 3D product configurator?
It is software that lets shoppers customize a product online and see the result on an interactive 3D model before buying. Prexaya links a 2D design editor to the 3D model so every change shows up live.
Does a 3D configurator increase sales?
Seeing the real product from every angle answers the questions that make shoppers hesitate, such as size and placement of a logo. Results vary by store, so test it on your best-selling customizable products first.
Which products work with Prexaya’s 3D configurator?
Apparel, bags and backpacks, drinkware, packaging and promotional products. Any product with a GLB/GLTF model and defined print areas can be configured.
Do I need 3D skills to set it up?
No. You upload a model or use an existing blank, mark the print areas in the admin, and embed the configurator. Our team can help prepare models during onboarding.
How much does Prexaya’s 3D configurator cost?
Plans are flat: a free Sandbox, $29 per month Starter, $69 per month Pro and $199 per month Enterprise, with 0% commission on orders and a 30-day free trial.
What should an online 3D configurator for web-to-print include?
Beyond the 3D preview, look for visible print areas and bleed, low-resolution warnings, print-ready file output (PDF, SVG, PNG, UV maps) and a store integration. A preview alone does not help if your team still has to rebuild the artwork.
Is a 3D product configurator the same as a product customizer?
They are close. A product customizer lets shoppers personalize a product; a 3D configurator adds an interactive 3D model so they can inspect it from every angle. Prexaya includes both in one tool.
