Use predefined standard aluminum profiles like the 20×20 T-slot (DXF file format) to toggle different extruded CAD-models to your deisred size. Use together with accessories that can be toggled on or off. All exported in to the same 3D CAD file (.step AP242).
Are you offering customized sheet metal cabinets and products and want the client to do the customization themselves? Or do you need to make cutouts at certain places?
No matter the case, this DynaMaker template for cabinets and electronics could perhaps be a good starting point for your first online CAD configurator.
Picking the right size and load capacity for your lifting table is hard. The customer know what to lift while the manufacturer knows what is required to make a stable and safe liftable work table. Having online product configurators will help the customer to fill out what they know and let the rules calculate whats the optimal solution to quote.
We have created a basic starting template for lifting tables that you can use to get started in the right direction.
This template is also good for explaining the difference between user inputs and configuration rules and formulas.

Would you like to develop a online CAD configurators that automatically exports STEP-files of your assemblies?
The CAD visualization in DynaMaker can be exported as step in two main ways:
Do you already have your own 2D & 3D files? Then it’s very easy to reuse them in DynaMaker without remodeling them again. If there are parts in your product that remain unchanged regardless of the configuration (“static”), you can reuse your 2D & 3D files in DynaMaker for them, so that you can focus on parametric parts and others in your DynaMaker application. Learn more about this!

This is one of many template projects available for a quick start with customization in DynaMaker. It’s a simple one-step configurator that enables parametric customization of a greenhouse with automated CAD exports. See the video below for an example of how it could work for your e-commerce!
When working with an all-in-one cloud service like DynaMaker you can pretty much follow these 10-steps to develop your first CAD configurator for web, e-commerce or CPQ. All the technical aspects can be found on docs.dynamaker.com or by a discussion with our support team. The hardest part is usually doing things in the right order.
