Product Configurators in CAD Automation
Build intelligent product configurators that generate models, drawings, and outputs based on user-defined inputs and rules. Enable faster design, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistent, rule-driven engineering workflows.
What they do
- Allow users (engineering, sales, or customers) to configure products by selecting parameters and options
- Automatically create or update 3D models, assemblies, drawings, and metadata
- Ensure designs follow engineering rules and constraints
- How they work (typical flow)
- User inputs – size, capacity, material, variants, standards, etc.
- Rules & logic – design rules, formulas, dependencies, and constraints
- CAD automation engine – drives parameters, features, UDFs, patterns, family tables
- Outputs generated – 3D models, 2D drawings, BOM, PDFs, neutral formats
