About customX
A software platform for design automation and product configuration. It digitizes product know-how into a central rulebook to automate the creation of CAD models, BIM data, and manufacturing documentation for complex variant products.
customX is a specialized design automation and product configuration platform designed for manufacturers of complex, variant-rich products. By digitizing technical product knowledge into a central rulebook, the platform enables companies to automate the entire value chain from sales configuration to production documentation. It is particularly valuable for engineering-heavy firms looking to reduce manual design time, eliminate errors, and preserve institutional knowledge. The platform stands out for its CAD-independent architecture, which allows it to interface with major tools like Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and SOLIDWORKS, as well as enterprise systems like SAP. Users benefit from a web-based configurator that can be embedded into websites or portals, providing customers with real-time 3D previews and pricing. While the platform is powerful, it is built for technical teams, emphasizing a 'technicians for technicians' approach that avoids the need for complex programming. It is a strategic tool for companies aiming to implement mass customization without sacrificing profitability or operational efficiency.
