What it is
Zea Configurators is a web tool from Zea Configurators in Montreal for manufacturers building interactive 3D product configurators from CAD data. Customers can explore selectable parts, materials, and views and see product pricing. The Configurator Editor lets manufacturers decide which elements are adjustable and define each option’s behavior. Zea’s JavaScript library connects a configurator to custom interfaces and branding, while embeds and a JavaScript API support websites, applications, real-time pricing, and other functions. The API can support CPQ workflows that reflect ERP prices as options change. The WebGL 2.0 viewer runs in modern browsers on tablets and smartphones without plugins or downloads. Zea Sync processes CAD locally; Zea says it does not store or expose CAD data. Purchased configurations can become digital twins for later service and parts ordering.
