CAD Configuration — From Engineering Files to Customer Experience
Your Engineers Already Have the Model. Stop Rebuilding It.
Parametric configuration driven by your actual CAD files — with production-ready BOM and engineering drawings as first-class outputs.
The Problem With Pre-Baked Variant Libraries
Most visual configuration platforms work from a fixed library of 3D variants — options a 3D artist built months ago. It works fine until a customer requests a non-standard dimension, or engineering updates a tolerance, or a new product line gets added. Then someone manually rebuilds the variants, the configurator goes stale, and the commerce team is still showing last quarter's geometry.
Land of Assets takes a different approach entirely. Your CAD files — the ones engineering already maintains — are the configuration source of truth. When a parameter changes, the CAD system solves the geometry. The output is accurate because it came from the same process that produces your manufacturing drawings.
Upload Once, Configure Everything
From engineering tools to the web — automatically
Upload directly in the formats your engineering team already uses. No manual conversion step. No intermediate tooling. Land of Assets handles the full pipeline: source file to optimized GLB for web viewing, while preserving the original for parametric configuration and engineering output generation.
Supported CAD formats
- STEP / STP / STEPNC — universal mechanical CAD exchange format
- IGES / IGS — widely supported engineering interchange format
- FreeCAD — native
.FCStdfiles with full parametric support
Every upload automatically generates a viewer-ready GLB so downstream teams can inspect the asset in the browser immediately — while the source file remains available for parametric solves and CAD derivatives.
Configuration That Respects Engineering Reality
"Visual configuration platforms built on pre-baked 3D variants break the moment engineering changes a dimension. Parametric CAD configuration means the model and the configurator are always in sync with what can actually be manufactured."
Parametric configuration in practice
A door with configurable width and height. A shelf unit with variable span. A machine component with selectable tolerances. Land of Assets supports parametric configuration natively — driven by your actual CAD model, not a lookup table.
Set parameters. Change values. The system generates accurate geometry from the CAD source. Configurations that engineering constraints prohibit simply cannot be selected. No new variant to model. No new file to export.
Manufacturing-Ready Outputs as a First-Class Feature
Not just visualization — what manufacturing actually needs
A configured product is only useful if it can be built. Land of Assets treats engineering outputs as first-class deliverables alongside the customer-facing 3D view.
When a customer completes a configuration, the platform produces the artifacts manufacturing and procurement need — derived directly from the parametric solve, not approximated.
Engineering output formats
- Production engineering diagrams — dimensioned drawings from the configured geometry
- Bills of material (BOM) — accurate per-configuration parts lists for procurement
- STEP / IGES export — configured geometry as a downloadable CAD exchange file
- GLB for visualization — optimized web viewer output from the same solve
- FreeCAD native export —
.FCStdoutput for downstream CAD workflows
One Pipeline, Every Output
Automatic GLB Conversion
Every CAD upload converts automatically to optimized GLB for web viewing. Source files and derived CAD downloads remain available. No manual export required.
Material and Finish Overrides
PBR material overrides apply without modifying the source CAD file. Visual configuration of finishes — without re-solving the parametric model.
Downstream Consistency
Once CAD is in Land of Assets, every downstream experience — configurators, marketing sites, AI pipelines — draws from the same converted asset. Engineering changes propagate automatically.
From Configuration to Fulfilled Order
The complete loop — from customer choice to manufacturing floor
Configuration, BOM, engineering drawings, and fulfilment data are all produced in one pipeline. What the customer configured is what gets built — without a manual step to translate a visual selection into manufacturing instructions.
The same session that generates the customer-facing 3D view produces the bill of materials procurement needs and the engineering drawing manufacturing requires.
The order workflow
- Customer configures with live 3D feedback
- Engineering constraints prevent invalid selections
- Geometry solved parametrically from CAD source
- BOM generated automatically for procurement
- Engineering drawings produced for manufacturing
- Order placed with complete fulfilment data attached
Bridging Engineering and Commerce
The gap between what engineering produces and what commerce needs has historically required significant manual effort — artists rebuilding models, careful coordination to avoid version drift, manual translation from customer choices to manufacturing instructions. Land of Assets closes that gap. Engineers maintain CAD. The platform handles everything downstream.
