Infinitive Launches in Onshape App Store: Build Interactive 3D Product Configurators Without Limits

Companies offering customizable products face an impossible choice: Limit options to stay scalable, or offer flexibility and watch engineering costs spiral. Every custom request pulls technical teams into sales conversations, turning what should be quick wins into expensive, slow processes.

The Onshape App Store offers a third option. Infinitive is a 3D product configurator that empowers customers to design their own solutions from your parts catalog – while automatically ensuring every configuration is valid and manufacturable.

What Does Infinitive Do?

Infinitive is an Onshape App Partner that works differently from typical configurators. Most configurators give customers a few preset options to choose from. Infinitive lets them build their own designs from your parts catalog – or as CEO Peter Harman puts it, “just like building from Lego.”

The platform takes your CAD models and optimizes them to work smoothly in any web browser. Customers see realistic materials and live pricing as they build. Behind the scenes, Infinitive checks that every combination actually works and can be built.

The result? Product configurator software that lets customers design their own solutions without needing an engineer’s help for every sale.

Who’s Using Infinitive?

The platform serves companies across a wide range of industries. Electronics companies use it for everything from smart home devices to supercomputers. The platform instantly validates whether components work together, such as ensuring a motherboard fits with the chosen CPU and memory.

Industrial equipment companies have discovered their sales teams can now create real CAD models and parts lists in seconds. Kitchen cabinet manufacturers let customers try different materials and see how they look right away. Construction companies use it as a collaborative design tool where teams can assemble buildings from standard parts.

The platform even handles tram tracks, proving it can manage complex industrial products.

Why Use Infinitive?

Infinitive goes beyond typical configuration tools by letting customers actually design. They're not just picking from dropdown menus but creating solutions that fit their exact needs while the platform makes sure everything works.

Performance stands out. Complex electronic assemblies appear instantly with realistic materials and no lag, even with detailed geometry. This speed comes from Infinitive’s cloud architecture, which works on any device or browser anywhere in the world.

The business results back this up. Harman shared numbers from one configurator launched this year: it converts almost three times better than the typical 2.5% for online stores.

How Does the Onshape Integration Work?

Connecting Onshape and Infinitive is straightforward. You start by linking to your Onshape account – either browse your folders in Infinitive or paste an Onshape URL. Then, choose which parametric inputs you want to expose to your end customers.

Next, you set up how parts connect, similar to how mate connectors work in Onshape. You can swap the basic CAD colors for realistic wood, metal, or other textures from Infinitive’s library.

The entire process takes minutes, and new products work in the configurator right away.

The system keeps track of versions, too. Every customer order links back to the exact product and CAD model versions used, and you can test changes without affecting the live configurator until you’re ready to publish.

How Do You Get Started with Infinitive?

You’ll find Infinitive in the Onshape App Store. It includes a login with Onshape option so you don’t need another account to manage.

Pricing follows a monthly subscription model with different levels based on features and sales volume. If your sales grow beyond your current level, you can upgrade or pay extra for the additional sales – designed to help both you and Infinitive benefit from growth.

The Infinitive team helps you set up your first configurator, then gives you access to keep building and improving on your own. This support helps you get started without getting stuck on technical details.

Complexity Simplified

Infinitive has been in development since 2023 but builds upon experience working with Onshape customers on customization projects since 2018. They consolidated everything they learned into the platform that launched this year.

From smart devices to entire buildings, Infinitive shows that complex products don't have to mean complex sales. Visit the Onshape App Store today to see how this 3D product configurator can free up your engineers and improve your customer experience.
