CAD/CAM & Production
Rubens enables a paradigm shift in the production environment. It is possible for the first time to separate the design layer from the construction layer for a high-performing and high-quality sales configuration.
In the classic approach, a system furniture must be defined in terms of design and its effect on the construction. With Rubens' connection to the construction layer, these tasks can be distributed to different applications.
- Rules based design & execution (covered by Rubens)
Product configuration for design, dimensions and materials - Rules based design & execution (covered by CAD/CAM systems)
Determination of the technical design such as connectors, fittings, rows of holes, panel transitions, work preparation processes, production routings
This enables complete flexibility in processing towards internal systems and results in possible scenarios such as dynamic fitting assignments including related production processing steps.

FAQ
-
How does the integration of the configurator into my channels work?
Equipped with open application programming interfaces (APIs), the Rubens Configurator seamlessly integrates into any website, e-commerce system or B2B ordering platform. This boosts the sale of customized products – from simple variant configurations to complex modular product systems.
API-based approach – what does this mean exactly?
Your website, webshop or B2B ordering platform is connected to the Rubens Configurator via an API that enables communication between the two systems. This allows each product configuration to be passed to your target system as its own bill of materials.
Once the user clicks on the call-to-action button (“Request Product” or “Add to Cart”), the website is notified and the configurator provides the complete bill of materials with an automatically generated image and all product-relevant information required by the target system for price calculation and order creation. The defined data is available in real time in JSON format. The matching of Rubens data (e.g. item numbers/SKUs) with the data maintained in your target system (e.g. backend shop) enables live price calculation and direct checkout, either as a product inquiry or an order.

How can I integrate the Rubens Configurator or Rubens Room Designer into an E-Commerce system (Shopify, Shopware, Magento, WooCommerce, ...) or export data?
The Rubens solution is entirely API-based, which enables seamless integration with any e-commerce system of your choice.
What does this mean exactly?
Your webshop is connected to the Rubens Configurator / Rubens Room Designer through an API, enabling communication between the two systems. Each product configuration is passed to your webshop as a dedicated bill of materials.
Once the user clicks on the call-to-action button (“Request Product” or "Add-to-Cart"), the website is notified and the configurator provides the complete bill of materials with an automatically generated image and all product-relevant information required by the e-commerce system for price calculation and order creation. The defined data is available in real-time in JSON format. Matching Rubens data (e.g. item numbers) with the data maintained in your shop backend enables live price calculation and a direct checkout in the shopping cart on your site.
Your webshop team or implementation partner can find detailed technical information in our Rubens E-Commerce Integration Guide as well as in our Developer Documentation.
-
How is the integration into my website or webshop carried out?
The Rubens 3D Viewer can be easily integrated into your website or webshop as an iFrame. This requires only a few lines of JavaScript. Additionally, the Rubens Configurator is fully API-based. This means that all events that occur within the configurator can be captured and transmitted to your website or webshop.
In the background, the configurator always generates a complete bill of materials, which can be displayed at any time or passed on to the webshop. This allows seamless integration of price calculation and other purchase-relevant information.
-
What skills are required to create custom configurators?
Currently, it's not possible to create configurators without some technical knowledge. Web or JavaScript developers are able to build configurators using the Rubens platform.
For support, we recommend the following:
- Our Configurator Data Setup Guide for simple color & material configurators or
- Our Configurator Data Setup Guide for Basic & Full-Logic configurators
- Developer Documentation, which includes helpful examples and a training course.
- Configurator Developer Profile
Additionally, we offer onboarding sessions for you and your team to make the transition to the Rubens platform as easy as possible.
-
How do I import data (such as product data or prices) into the platform?
Data can be imported into the Rubens platform in two ways:
1. Manual Upload: You can upload and create product data and prices manually through the Rubens Admin Platform’s upload section.
2. Automated Import via REST API: For frequently and dynamically changing data, we offer an automated import via a REST API interface.
Pricing Service
There are two options for pricing in the Rubens configurator: You can use the integrated Rubens pricing service, which allows you to maintain country-specific prices based on item numbers. Alternatively, you can dynamically connect your own pricing data through an external pricing service at runtime. This gives complete control over your pricing data and allows you to continue managing complex pricing structures, such as B2B customer prices, discounts or special calculations.
