Zea Configurators · Montreal, Quebec, Canada
What it is
Zea Configurators is a web tool for manufacturers building interactive 3D product configurators from CAD data. Customers can explore product options and prices, while manufacturers use the Configurator Editor to choose adjustable parts, materials and views and define how each choice behaves. Zea’s JavaScript library can connect a configurator to a custom interface and branding. Embeds and a JavaScript API support websites and applications, including real-time pricing and CPQ workflows that reflect ERP prices as customers change options. The WebGL 2.0 viewer works in modern browsers on tablets and smartphones without plugins or app downloads. Zea Sync processes CAD locally to extract viewing data; Zea says it does not store or expose CAD data. Manufacturers can block proprietary parts from view. A purchased configuration can become a digital twin for later service and parts ordering through Zea Parts or Zea Illustrations. Zea describes role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, daily backups and periodic third-party vulnerability and penetration testing. A free plan and 30-day trial are listed; custom fees depend on users, active Hubs and requested features.
