3D configurator for perforated panel manufacturers.
Hole pattern and size, metal and finish, sheet size, mounting and backlight, priced live. Tall panels on standoffs or posts move to a heavier gauge.
Live 3D · Pick options or ask AISBFS builds 3D configurators for perforated and laser-cut panel manufacturers: architects and buyers pick the pattern, material and size, see the panel in 3D and get a price without a catalog PDF. The demo below is a working example. A configurator is priced from a $4,000 one-time Pilot on your own site to $50,000 and up for the full channel, with a monthly fee on each build tier.

Loading the configurator
Quoting perforated panels by hand
Perforated panels are specified, not picked off a shelf: pattern, hole pitch, material and sheet size all change the look and the price. Architects and buyers compare patterns from catalog PDFs and then email for a quote. Your team prices each request by hand and checks it against what your tooling can produce. A spec that cannot be made comes back after the quote has gone out.
What a perforated panel configurator does
It lets an architect or buyer specify a panel, from pattern and hole size to metal, gauge and mounting, and see the price and open area before asking for a quote. Only specs your tooling can make are on offer.
In this demo
Hole pattern and size
Round, square, slot or hexagon in up to three sizes, punched through the sheet, with the open area in the spec.
Metal and finish
Aluminum or steel powder-coated in four colors, or stainless and weathering steel left raw.
Sheet size and gauge
Width and height sliders and three gauges. Tall panels on standoffs or posts move to a heavier gauge.
Mounting and backlight
Wall standoffs, a perimeter frame or freestanding posts, with an LED wash behind wall-mounted panels.
AI mode
Describe what you want in plain words and the assistant sets the options for you, inside the same rules.
Live price
The estimate updates with every change and lists what each option adds. The prices in this demo are samples; yours come from your own price list.
For a perforated panel manufacturer
Sheet sizes
Width and height are inputs within your sheet limits. The demo steps in 6 in from 24 to 96 in wide and 24 to 120 in tall, and a panel wider than 60 in and taller than 96 in goes to the team for a quote, since it is cut from oversize plate.
Tooling rules
Slots come in medium or large only, because a small slot leaves too thin a web between holes. Over 8 ft tall on standoffs or posts, 16 ga grays out and the sheet moves to 14 ga so it stays flat.
Metal and mounting rules
Stainless and weathering steel ship raw, since the metal is the finish, while aluminum and steel are always powder-coated. A panel on freestanding posts has no wall behind it, so the backlight is off the list.
Price, ship time and quotes
The ship time shows with the price: 2 to 3 weeks for coated aluminum or steel, a week more for stainless or weathering steel, and a week more for the backlight. In your build, each spec reaches your team as a lead or a quote with every option attached.
Production files
Each panel downloads as drawings (PDF) and as a cut file of the sheet with every hole, in SVG, DXF or G-code. Mounting holes are left to the fixing maker, and a connection to your online store or ERP is scoped in Diagnose.

Quotes that took Door Builder's sales team about two and a half weeks now take a dealer four minutes. Dealers design, price and order doors on their own, residential and commercial pricing applies by itself, and every order that comes in is a door the shop can actually build.

If your patterns already live in a Grasshopper model and your team can build around it, ShapeDiver may be all you need: it says its store plugins get you selling "in minutes", and we build on it too.
A custom build is worth it when your tooling limits, specification and pricing rules are the hard part and each order has to reach production with them. If a template covers your range, we say so in Diagnose.
The sourced comparison of custom and SaaS configuratorsWhat it costs and how long it takes.
The Pilot is one fee, credited in full to the build if you continue. Each build tier is a one-time setup plus a monthly fee for running and improving it, with Diagnose included and ending in a quote inside your tier.
Pilot
$4,000 one-time
Your own product live in a working 3D configurator on your own site, priced, with the full fee credited to the build if you continue.
Parametric
$20,000–$40,000 setup · $500–$1,500 a month
Any size the buyer types in, your fabrication rules, files for production, and a connection to your online store or ERP.
Forge
from $50,000 setup · monthly fee scoped with you
Your whole sales operation, from catalog to checkout, on a platform you own.
Diagnose
We map your options, rules and prices with your team and hand you a spec, a quote inside your tier and a date.
Build
A first working version at a private link, with a new demo to review every Friday.
Launch
The full channel typically ships in six weeks, launched on your domain. A configurator added to the store you already run is usually quicker.
Operate & improve
We stay on: new product lines, rules, prices and integrations, under the monthly fee of your tier. The code and data are yours.
