2D/3D configurators for swimming pools/swimming pools/tubs/saunas/baths/hammams

Designing water complexes and recreation areas requires adjusting many parameters and technical nuances. It is worth considering materials, style, geometry of the space, operating conditions, individual wishes of the client. Ordinary drawings, static 3D renderings or PDF diagrams no longer cover all the wishes of the customer. He seeks clarity and control: change the configuration in real time; observe how this affects the appearance and equipment of the future font, pool or sauna.

2D and 3D configurators for water complexes and recreation areas are becoming an effective sales tool. They allow the client to independently assemble the future object in the browser: choose the desired size, shape, finishing materials, stairs, heating systems, etc. The finished results are displayed in 2D or 3D format.

How does this happen in practice:

• 2D and 3D configurator reduces the decision-making cycle;
• takes some of the workload off managers;
• increases conversion;
• transforms the client's idea into a clear, visually confirmed and ready-to-implement project.

How 2D and 3D configurators work

Unlike static visualizations, the online configurator works in real time and adapts to the logic of a specific product: from a compact font or a hot tub to a complex SPA complex with a swimming pool, sauna or hammam. It can be integrated into the manufacturer's website, online store or CRM system. Let's consider each type of object separately and discuss: what the user gets, how the configurator works, and what benefits it brings to the business.

1. Pool. Thanks to the online configurator, the customer independently chooses the type of pool, determines the required shape, dimensions and location of the main elements. The client also selects the cladding, bowl materials and surrounding areas, can add equipment, lighting and filtration systems. The system immediately displays all changes and allows you to view the pool from any angle. The configurator checks the compatibility of components and the correctness of the parameters, ensuring the accuracy of the design and readiness for the formation of an application.
2. Fonts. The configurator offers a choice of shape, depth, water volume, bowl materials, exterior finish, as well as stoves and accessories for comfortable use. The user sees all changes in 3D or on an interactive 2D plan, can rotate and scale the model. The system automatically checks the correctness of the equipment selection. This allows you to immediately create a project with correct specifications and a preliminary cost estimate.
3. Tanks. You can choose the size, capacity and materials, as well as integrate additional functions: heating, lighting, internal surface treatment. The client sees the visualization in real time, can change components. The system automatically controls the compatibility of materials, dimensions and equipment, ensuring technical accuracy and readiness of the project for further design.
4. Saunas. The tool allows you to adjust the size, location of benches, doors and ventilation ducts, select wood, finishes and heating system. The configurator displays all changes, providing interactive viewing and correct installation of equipment and materials. The system checks the compliance of parameters with safety requirements and physical implementation.
5. Baths. The bath configurator allows the client to choose the layout, location of stoves and benches, type of materials and cladding, as well as add ventilation and lighting systems. All changes are instantly reflected in the interactive model. The system also monitors the correctness of combinations and the physical feasibility of installation, which allows you to immediately form a technical project with an accurate calculation of parameters.

Business effect of 2D and 3D configurators for water complexes and recreation areas

The online configurator becomes a full-fledged part of sales and helps optimize business processes, rather than just serving as a visual addition.

For business this means:

✔️ minimization of manual work. 2D/3D configurators can take over certain routine operations, for example, forming a complete set, selecting parameters, checking compatibility, preliminary cost calculation. Ultimately, the manager receives structured information without the need to independently collect data from correspondence;

✔️ reduction of clarifications. The online configurator allows the customer to see the result of their object immediately after selecting the functionality. This leads to minimizing edits, misunderstandings, clarifications that often arise at the stage of project approval;

✔️ reducing the risk of errors in design and assembly. The configurator algorithms automatically monitor the technical correctness of solutions and prevent the formation of incompatible or erroneous configurations. This is especially important for water and SPA facilities, where inaccuracies in dimensions, equipment or engineering can lead to additional costs or rework;

✔️ increased involvement and trust. The client is interested in participating in the creation of the project and feels in control of the process. Thus, he better understands what the finished solution will be like at the end and trusts the result;

✔️ structuring of applications. Each application is formed in a standardized form with a clear set of parameters, specification and visualization. Therefore, the transfer of information between sales, design, production and installation departments is simplified, and the risk of data loss is minimized.

✔️ increase in average check. When working with the configurator, customers often want to add new features, for example, lighting, accessories, premium materials or improved equipment. Interactive visualization makes it possible to evaluate the benefits of additional parameters - and this affects the growth of the average check;

✔️ Acceleration of order turnover. When the main stages of design are automated, this reduces the deal cycle. The manager gets involved in the work already at the confirmation stage and can process more applications. In turn, the manager does not need to spend additional budget on scaling the team.

✔️ stable quality of projects, regardless of the human factor. Thanks to a single logic of settings and checks, the business receives a consistently high level of project quality, control over standards, and a successful result - and all this regardless of the experience of a particular designer or manager.

✔️ higher conversion. The online configurator becomes the entry point into the sales funnel. A user who came to you with only an idea and intention receives a ready-to-develop project with specified parameters, formed according to their own preferences and cost.

Technologies and development approach

The development of 2D and 3D configurators for swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, baths or hammams is based on the use of modern web technologies that guarantee smooth, stable and interactive visualization without the need to install additional programs. Our team creates tools that work quickly in a browser on any device, are easily scalable and integrated into the client's business processes.

Key principles:

• Browser visualization. We use WebGL, Three.js, or similar solutions to develop 3D models. Thus, the display of objects, materials, and lighting is as realistic as possible and does not require additional software.
• Optimization for different devices. The online configurator works stably on PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. It has a convenient interface and touch control, and also adapts to the screen size.
• Fast loading and smooth operation. Even if the object catalog is large and has many options, all textures, models and elements are optimized for instant display.
• Scalable architecture. You can always expand the range in the system: add new functions, models or materials - without having to rewrite the code.
• Integration and security. The 2D and 3D configurator easily integrates with CRM, ERP and production modules. Information is transmitted correctly and there is reliable protection against failures.
• User-friendliness. Intuitive UI, clear steps for selecting parameters, and comfortable work with objects accompany the client at every stage of design.

Stages of development of 2D/3D configurators of swimming pools/baths/vats/saunas/baths/hammams

1. Analytics and task setting. We study the client's requirements, analyze the range of objects. We take into account the needs of the target audience and the scenarios of managers' work. Then we form a list of configurator functions, technical specifications and basic parameters for the project. For example, the type of pool, lighting options, necessary materials for decoration, integration with ERP/CRM.
2. Logic and UX design. We create a structure for selecting parameters, rules for element compatibility, user scenarios, and a user-friendly interface. As a result, the object development process should be transparent and interesting to the customer.
3. Preparation of 3D models and materials. 3D models of swimming pools, hot tubs, vats, saunas, baths and hammams with correct geometry and materials are created or optimized for the 3D configurator. The models should provide high-quality visualization and at the same time be optimized for fast loading in the browser. Schematic plans, projections and options for displaying shapes and sizes are prepared for the 2D configurator, which allow you to clearly show the configuration of the object without overloading the interface.
4. Configurator development. We implement the logic of selecting parameters for swimming pools and SPA facilities, 2D/3D visualization and automatic calculation of the cost of the selected configuration with the formation of technical specifications. As a result, the client receives a convenient interface with sequential steps, clear prompts and transparent pricing.
5. Integration and testing. We connect the tool to the customer's website, CRM, ERP or other internal systems. We check the compatibility of elements, the correctness of calculations, and the stability of work in different browsers and devices.
6. Launch and support. We put the online configurator into operation. At the same time, we monitor and provide support if necessary. Improvements and expansions are also possible: adding new models, changing business processes.

The cost of developing 2D/3D configurators for water and SPA facilities

The cost of developing a 2D and 3D configurator for swimming pools, hot tubs, hot tubs, saunas, baths and hammams depends on the complexity of the selection logic, the level of visualization detail, the number of models and options, as well as integrations with the website, CRM or ERP. The table below shows approximate prices and terms. It will help you pre-estimate the budget and project launch period.

The specified terms and costs are approximate. The final figures are calculated individually after analyzing the project and technical requirements.

What does the cost depend on:

• Configurator format – 2D or 3D. The cost depends significantly on the chosen option: a 2D solution involves the creation of diagrams and plans; a 3D configurator requires the preparation and optimization of three-dimensional models, materials, and realistic visualization. The 3D format is technically more complex, therefore it requires more time and budget for implementation.
• Number of models and options. The more types of pools, tubs, saunas, hot tubs, baths and their combinations, the more difficult it is to implement the selection logic.
• Level of detail of 3D models. Realistic textures, lighting, water reflection - such nuances affect the preparation and optimization time.
• Costing and Specifications: Testing and refining the logic requires costing of materials, equipment, and accessories, as well as generating specifications.
• Integrations with CRM, ERP, website. Connecting the online configurator to internal sales management and accounting systems complicates the project and increases the final cost.
• Mobile device support. Adapting the interface for smartphones or tablets requires a separate development stage.
• Admin panel and catalog management. The presence of a control panel for models, modifications, and settings adds functionality and affects the budget.
