VML Technologies Product Configurator

VML Technologies makes custom LED strips for large media facades, and every quote and spec sheet used to be made by hand. They wanted a web tool where their sales team, customers and architects pick a specification, see that exact product in 3D and download a matching spec sheet. Every value on that sheet had to match exactly what was selected.

I modeled the parts in Blender, including the profiles, end caps, connectors and LED types. The PlayCanvas app assembles the exact strip from the customer's choices (pitch, LED type, orientation, connector side), instead of needing a separate model for every product code. A custom mirror reflection puts it on a reflective floor like their product photography, and a masking trick handles the optional lattice finish. The spec sheet PDF is filled in on the spot with the right dimensions, brightness, power and images. A colleague built the step-by-step wizard, and I did the 3D, the configurator, the PDF and the link between them.

The configurator is live on VML's website, where you build a strip step by step, watch it take shape in 3D and download its datasheet with the model number already filled in.

VML's sales team, customers and architects use it actively. I'm happiest that one set of choices drives everything, so the 3D view, dimensions and spec sheet always stay in sync.
