We already use Cylindo. Can we move?

Yes, and you may not need to. If Cylindo makes your images, a CharpstAR configurator can sit beside it on the product page. Send us one product and we build it free.

Can you use the 3D models we already have?

Yes. Sweef's modular sofa was built from 3D they already had in house. Where there is none, we model from photos and measurements.

Which shop platforms does it work on?

Any. It is one snippet on the product page, with no app to install, and it talks to your systems by API.

What happens after the free product?

If you like it, we talk about the rest of the range. If not, you keep the model.

What we build

Any kind of configurator, built to the product

Fully API based, so prices, options and rules come live from your own systems.

Modular
Sofas and outdoor kitchens: pieces that join, with the rules for what fits where. Grillo and Dangarden sell their outdoor kitchens this way.
Parametric
Made to measure: width, height and depth set by the shopper, with the model and the price following.
Colour and material
Fabrics, finishes, stones and metals, shown on the real model and not on a swatch.
Full planners
Several products planned together in one space, to scale.
