Materials and finishes
Each finish is matched against your material library first. If a very similar name exists, the build stops and asks whether to reuse it.
AI configurator builder
AI product configurator: describe a product, review a first draft
Tell Simplio3D what you sell and its AI plans and builds a configurator around the 3D models in your library: materials, options, rules, a price and a form. You review the plan, approve anything that touches money, and publish when it is ready.
No credit card required
What the AI builder sets up
Option blocks
The choices you described, such as a frame finish or a seat cover, set up as blocks your customers will use.
Show and hide rules
Simple rules between options, listed in the plan so you can delete any you do not want.
A base price
Proposed with the amount and currency from your plan. It waits for your approval before it is applied.
A quote form
The form fields you need, so a configuration can reach you as a request.
A store product link
With Shopify or WooCommerce already connected, it proposes the product link and checkout mode, each for your approval.

How to build a configurator with AI
Five steps, starting from Generate with AI on your Projects page.
Describe it
Say what you are selling, for example “a lounge chair configurator with oak, walnut and black frames, and a fabric or leather seat”.
Review and edit the plan
The Build plan panel fills in as you talk: project name and type, 3D models, materials, option blocks, rules, pricing, form and store checkout. Remove anything you do not want.
Attach anything missing
If a model or texture is not in your library yet, upload it from the same dialog. It lands in your normal Assets library.
Build it
A checklist ticks off each step. It pauses when it needs an answer from you, and again for each change that needs approval.
Review the draft
Open the draft in the editor to confirm the 3D targeting and adjust variants and pricing. Carry on by hand, or ask the AI assistant.
It builds the configurator, not the 3D model
The AI works with the models, textures and graphics already in your library. If a model is missing it says so and offers an upload, rather than attaching something unrelated. For a model you do not have yet, you can upload your own files, or import a free one from an online library such as Poly Haven, Sketchfab or the Smithsonian.
Keep working with the AI assistant
Inside a project, the assistant reads your blocks, rules and even the part names in the 3D file. Ask it to “add a size option” or “audit this configurator”, and an audit gives you a health score with every finding, split into safe fixes and decisions for you. Sensitive changes wait for your Apply, and most changes can be undone.
What the AI does and what stays with you
The plan is yours to edit, and your edits win over the assistant’s suggestions.
| Step | The AI | You |
|---|---|---|
| Project and 3D models | Plans the project around models in your library | Attach any model that is missing |
| Materials | Reuses what it recognises, creates the rest | Choose when a similar material already exists |
| Options and rules | Creates the blocks and show or hide rules in the plan | Confirm the 3D targeting in the editor |
| Base price | Proposes the amount and currency | Apply or decline |
| Store product link and checkout mode | Proposes them if a store is already connected | Apply or decline, and connect the store yourself |
| Modular setup | Attaches modules and creates materials and pricing | Finish module variants and snap sides by hand |
| Publishing | Never | Turn on sharing when it is ready |

Product configurator MCP
Connect Claude, Cursor or VS Code over MCP. A connection starts read-only, write access is ticked per area, and high-risk changes only ever become proposals you apply in the dashboard.
Product configurator MCP guideBuild a configurator with Claude
The Simplio3D plugin for Claude adds the connector and seven skills, so Claude can build from a brief, audit a project and check whether it is ready to publish.
Claude plugin tutorialWhat a draft can grow into
These configurators were built by hand, without the AI builder. They show what the platform can do once a project is refined: a chair range on one material library, a cart its own team maintains and a tent with a design canvas on every panel.

Frequently asked questions
Here it means a configurator built with AI help. You describe the product, and the AI plans and creates the project: materials, option blocks, rules, a price and a form. The customers who use it see a normal configurator.
No. It can only use assets that already exist in your library, and it can read their part names. You upload your own model, import a free one from an online library, or start from the 3D Model Library.
No, and it is not meant to be. It is a first draft: the structure is in place, and you review and refine it before customers see it. Nothing is published until you turn on sharing yourself.
No. The base price, the store product link and the checkout mode each wait for your approval. In the AI assistant and connected AI tools, pricing, SKUs, deletions and bulk edits become proposals you apply.
Generate with AI, the AI assistant and AI connections are available on every paid plan, Starter included, and in the 30-day Pro trial. Modular projects are not on Starter.
Yes, if the store is already connected: it can search your products and propose the link. It cannot connect a store for you or read store credentials. That stays with you, in Dashboard → Integrations or your Shopify admin.
The documentation gives step-by-step setup for Claude, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code with GitHub Copilot. Anything a connected tool reads is sent to that tool’s AI provider, so grant only the access it needs.
