We've all been there - you're looking for product information and are grateful for any visual representation. The clearer and more detailed it is, the better. And then you wonder why so many suppliers continue to make do with information that is purely text-based. Or, at best, they only offer a few, pretty meaningless images. In the past, this may well have been largely due to the complexities involved. Yet this excuse is no longer justified, at least as far as Dutch startup Expivi is concerned. The company is at HANNOVER MESSE 2018 to unveil its online 3D product configuration platform, which enhances product display and in turn boosts sales opportunities.

Whether it's a designer home, an intricately built yacht or a simple pen, the innovative 3D technology from Expivi enables users to visualize, customize and quote any product with all possible options and without any limitations using a standard browser - including in VR. The largely automated Expivi workflow makes it easy to import 3D models, including configuration options, directly from any 3D modeling software such as Maya, 3D max, Solidworks, Autocad, Revit, Sketchup and a whole lot more. Expivi thus aims to open up new and exciting opportunities for presenting products as clearly as possible on any device imaginable.
