Configurator for modeling aircraft, boats and special equipment
Designing airplanes, boats and other large vehicles is always associated with high costs and enormous responsibility. There is no room for error here: every detail affects not only comfort, but also operational safety. While customers strive to create a unique design, manufacturers prioritize accuracy of calculations, compliance with standards and guaranteed compatibility of all components. Traditional coordination through catalogs and drawings is no longer enough: it is difficult for the customer to imagine the final result, and for the manufacturer to take into account all the wishes of the customer without the risk of inaccuracies.
An effective solution is 2D and 3D online configurators for modeling aircraft , boats and special equipment . They allow you to visually combine design and technical parameters, see the result immediately and automatically check the compatibility of the selected solutions. As a result, the client gets confidence in his choice, and the manufacturer gets a clear specification without the risk of errors.

Stages of development of a boat and aircraft configurator
Creating a configurator for airplanes, boats, and other complex equipment involves several key steps, each of which plays a critical role in creating a high-quality and effective digital product.
- Analysis and task formulation. At this stage, analysts conduct research on the business, product features, target audience, and customer requirements. They determine the key goals of implementing the configurator: attracting customers, increasing sales, automating interaction with production, or demonstrating the capabilities of the equipment. A technical task is formed and the necessary integrations are determined.
- UX/UI design. Our specialists develop the logic of the configurator, describe user scenarios and interface structure. The UX/UI designer creates the visual part, including adaptation for different devices and compliance with the company's corporate identity. Then interactive prototypes are created to demonstrate to the client and make changes before the start of development. Learn more about our approach to creating UX/UI design for your projects.
- Import or create 3D models. Adapt existing or create from scratch high-precision 3D models of equipment with the ability to customize materials, textures and lighting for the most realistic display. To do this, use modern Web3D tools that provide realistic graphics, interactive animation of elements and fast loading in the browser without the need for installation.
- Software implementation. To implement the front-end part of the configurator, developers use modern 3D frameworks and libraries - Three.js, Babylon.js, etc. They allow you to build realistic graphics, support animations and display objects in real time, which provides a convenient and intuitive user interface. Back-end development includes the design of server logic and architecture, which are responsible for storing data, performing complex calculations, and integrating with other systems. Our developers create productive, stable, and scalable configurators that work correctly under standard load, as well as in conditions of active growth in the number of users and projects.
- Testing and optimization. Conduct comprehensive testing of UI/UX, animation and rendering of 3D elements, performance, compatibility of the configurator with different browsers and devices. Optimize and fix bugs.
- Implementation and integration. The online configurator is placed on a website, corporate platform, or deployed as a standalone application. If necessary, employees are trained to work with the tool - from basic usage scenarios to administration and making changes.
- Support and development. After the release, we offer technical support: updates, performance optimization, adding new options and equipment models, as well as developing functionality based on user feedback and new business needs.
