The phrase digital transformation in manufacturing isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a shift that’s...
If you're still sending static PDFs or CAD images to customers, you're already behind.
In 2025, the manufacturers winning more deals—and losing fewer quotes—are the ones embracing real-time 3D visualization. Here's why it's no longer a luxury. It's a must.
1. Buyers Want to See It Before They Buy It
Think about the last time you bought something online. Did you zoom in? Rotate? Watch a video demo? Your customers want the same experience, especially for complex, customized products.
Real-time 3D visualization lets them interact with your product, customize it on the fly, and build confidence in their purchase. It’s not just visual commerce, it’s virtual ownership.
2. Interactive = Higher Engagement = More Conversions
Static images don’t sell. But interactive product renderings that respond in real time? That’s engagement gold.
Buyers who can tweak configurations, materials, and dimensions without submitting an RFQ are more likely to move down the sales funnel. Why? Because they’re in control. Visual product configurators keep your buyers hooked and coming back.
3. Accuracy Matters—Especially When It Comes to Quoting
Let’s kill the quoting errors.
With 3D configurators powered by your actual CAD files, what the buyer sees is exactly what engineering will build.
You don’t need to rely on memory, screenshots, or guesswork. Accurate quoting software eliminates the back-and-forth and removes bottlenecks. One source of truth. One seamless process.
4. Real-Time Quotes = Closed Deals
Buyers expect Amazon-level speed, even for industrial parts. If you’re still making them wait for a quote, you’re giving your competition the edge.
With instant quoting tools built into your configurator, buyers can see real-time pricing and lead times as they build. That means faster decisions, faster orders, and fewer abandoned quotes.
5. 3D Visualization Frees Up Your Sales and Engineering Teams
Stop wasting time fixing errors, chasing screenshots, or manually validating specs.
Spokbee’s automated configuration software builds the logic into the configurator itself. It’s like having an Application Engineer built into your product page, without needing to staff one.
Sales teams sell. Engineers build. The configurator connects them both without slowing anyone down.
Spokbee Makes It Easy
You don’t need a team of developers, a 6-month timeline, or custom code to start delivering real-time 3D visualization on your website.
Spokbee 2.0 is the world’s first fully cloud-native configurator builder built directly inside PTC’s Onshape, making it radically easier for engineering and sales teams to launch interactive product experiences without ever leaving their design environment.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Interactive 3D Configurators in Minutes
Publish CAD-connected, photorealistic 3D product configurators directly from your Onshape documents. No exporting, no re-modeling. Just select your model, define your options, and deploy. - Real-Time Pricing and Rendering
Let buyers see exactly what they’re building and how much it will cost as they configure. Spokbee updates pricing, dimensions, and visuals instantly based on customer selections. - Zero-Code Setup
You don’t need to write a single line of code. Spokbee uses intuitive, drag-and-drop logic blocks to define rules, pricing conditions, and visual outputs. It’s simple enough for sales to use, powerful enough for engineering to trust. - Engineering-Level Precision
Because Spokbee runs natively on Onshape, every configurator is backed by your live engineering models. That means 100% alignment between what the customer sees, what your sales team quotes, and what manufacturing builds.
From CAD to customer, Spokbee brings your entire product journey online—fast, accurate, and visually stunning.
