Modern online product designers feature realistic previews that are shown in real-time. Whether you add text or upload your own artwork it is reflected on a product just in a split second. While a flat preview might be sufficient for a printed products industry or stationary, promotional products like cups or custom uniforms might require a better outlook. That is where the 3D preview of a design might benefit much to the final look and feel of the personalized promotional product.

Having an online product configurator on a website is common for products that are open to customizable options, additional services, or qualities. The product configurator captures user preference and helps in conveying it to order details. If the order itself requires more than just shipping products to the address, accurate configuration information is important for the backend office of production.
