Pricing for custom 3D product configurators.
A one-time Pilot, then build tiers published as a setup range plus a monthly fee. Here is what each tier includes, what moves the price, and how an engagement runs from a free demo to launch.
- Pilot$4,000
- Parametric$20,000–$40,000
- Forgefrom $50,000
SBFS publishes its prices for custom 3D configurators: Pilot $4,000, Parametric $20,000–$40,000, and Forge from $50,000. The Pilot is one fee for your own product live in a working configurator on your own site, credited in full to the build if you continue. Parametric and Forge are a one-time setup plus a monthly fee for running and improving it, and Diagnose, the scoping week, is included and ends with a quote inside your tier.

What each tier includes
The Pilot is one fee, credited in full to the build if you continue. On a build tier, the setup fee builds it and the monthly fee runs it and keeps improving it after launch.

The tiers side by side
What moves the price
Rules, catalog size, outputs and integrations decide the tier. Diagnose turns that into a quote inside it.
How complex your product's rules are
One of your products with its options, priced and live on your own site, is the Pilot. Any size the buyer types in, within your fabrication rules, is Parametric.
How big the catalog is
The Pilot covers one product. The scope of a build grows with the number of products and the rules behind them.
What a configuration has to produce
A price on screen is part of the Pilot. Files for production are Parametric.
What it connects to
Integration with your e-commerce or ERP is part of the Parametric tier.
How much of the sales channel you want
Cart and checkout, a customer portal and dealer or B2B portals around the configurator are Forge: your whole sales operation, from catalog to checkout, on a platform you own. You can start with the configurator and add the rest later.
Whether the platform already exists
A second brand on a platform we already built is a smaller fee, because the commerce, catalog and configurator layers are already there.
From a free demo to launch
You see your own product working before you commit. Then the build takes a few weeks, and you can open the work in progress on a private link from the start.
Free demo with your own product
Before you commitOn a 20-minute call we agree on one of your products and the options to show. Send photos or drawings with its key dimensions, and within one business day you get that product in a working 3D configurator on a private link, so you judge the approach on your own product before you pay for anything.
Diagnose
About a week · includedWe map your rules and hand you a spec, a quote inside your tier and a date. We also tell you what not to build, including when a SaaS tool or your own team is the better call.
Build
Weeks 2–5 · First version on a private linkThe setup fee, quoted in Diagnose. You see working builds on your own test site every week, and Juan is on every call.
Launch
Week 6Launched on your domain. The full channel typically ships in six weeks: about a week of Diagnose, four weeks of build, one of launch. A configurator integrated into your existing stack is usually shorter.
Operate & improve
Monthly fee by build tierWe stay on to operate and improve it: new product lines, rules, prices and integrations, under the monthly fee of your tier. If you would rather run it yourselves, the code and data are yours.
11 live demos. Priced as you build.
One working configurator per industry: pick options by hand or describe what you want to the AI, and the model and the price update as you go. The prices are samples; yours come from your own price list.
When a published price helps
Buyers who come here usually need a figure and a date before anything else.
You are budgeting, not browsing
The board wants a figure and a date. Our ranges are published before the first call, and Diagnose narrows yours to a quote.
The quotes you have are open-ended
Time-and-materials quotes leave the risk with you. Ours is a quote inside a published range and a date, set once Diagnose has mapped your rules.
You have a season to hit
A trade show, a catalog launch, a fiscal year. When the date is the constraint, the scope is what has to flex.
When we are not a fit
A custom build is the wrong purchase for some catalogs, and we would rather say so before you pay for it.
Your catalog fits a template
A fixed set of products with light options, needed on screen quickly, is often better served by a subscription configurator. If one fits better, we say so in Diagnose.
You want to buy developer hours
We quote a range and a result: a working sales channel and the rules behind it, never hours.
Diagnose shows a mismatch
We say so and refer you to teams that are better positioned. You pay nothing for that, because Diagnose is included.
