How 3D visualisation changes your product presentation for good
Every company today is faced with the task of presenting products clearly, attractively and convincingly. 3D visualisation has established itself here as a key technology because it makes complex relationships clear and at the same time remains flexible. This allows you to convey your message with pinpoint accuracy without the need for a physical product to already exist. Especially in times of agile development cycles and increased demands for sustainability, 3D visualisation is a powerful tool for product development, marketing and sales.
Flexibility and a wide range of variants thanks to modern 3D visualisation
A digital 3D model offers enormous freedom: You can adjust the colour, material, shape and perspective at any time without the need for time-consuming conversions or reshoots [1]. This is particularly advantageous if your product is offered in different versions or is still under development. This saves you time, reduces costs and keeps all presentation channels consistent.
For customers, this means more transparency and better comparability, because they can see directly how different features work. iROI-Coaching supports you in the creation and integration of such 3D configurators into your sales and marketing process, so that you can fully utilise your potential.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) A medium-sized furniture manufacturer uses photorealistic 3D visualisation to allow customers to interactively select different upholstery fabrics and types of wood. As soon as a combination changes, the image reacts immediately. Customers report a fascinating, modern shopping experience. At the same time, the company was able to reduce the time spent on photo shoots by more than 60 % and increase online conversion.
The same principle applies in the automotive industry: virtual showrooms display vehicles in real time, for example with different paint finishes or interior options[4]. Customers can immediately see what their favourite model would look like without having to build a prototype. 3D visualisation is also used in the packaging industry - for example for interactive 360-degree views of packaging designs that are presented online or at trade fairs[4].
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) A manufacturer of cosmetics packaging visualises new designs as a 3D model before printing forms are produced. Customers can test different decors, shapes and closures at the click of a mouse. This shortens the development process from weeks to days and increases customer satisfaction thanks to early involvement in the design process.
Interactive experiences create trust and shorten purchase decisions
The strength of 3D visualisation lies in its interactivity: users can rotate products, zoom in and sometimes even look inside. This promotes trust because customers can see what they are getting and engage more intensively with the product. Studies show that such interactive presentations can significantly increase customer loyalty and boost the conversion rate[1][5].
An example from the electronics industry: 3D animations are often created for innovative tech products to show functional sequences and explain operation. This makes it possible to experience complexity without having to have your own device on site. The integration of augmented reality (AR) - for example for virtual trial functions - is also setting new standards for the customer experience[3][4].
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) In addition to traditional product photos, an online shop for technical measuring devices offers a 360-degree rotating animation and short 3D videos that clearly show how it works. The additional option of placing products virtually in your own working environment doubles the time spent on the website and significantly increases the number of requests for in-house demos.
Time and cost savings: efficient planning with 3D visualisation
3D visualisation is not only innovative, but also practical: it saves time and resources because physical prototypes are often only needed for final tests[3][9]. Changes or new variants can be implemented directly on the computer. This speeds up development and brings products to market faster.
In industry, technical 3D CAD animations are very popular for visualising complex machines and processes in an understandable way[2][6]. Instead of long explanations, a short video showing the functionality step by step is sufficient. Internally, companies benefit because different departments work on the same digital model and misunderstandings are minimised[9].
An example from the construction industry: architectural firms use 3D visualisation to visualise construction projects even before the first sod is turned. This optimises the use of potential areas and gives clients a realistic picture of the end product, which reduces uncertainty and increases acceptance[6].
iROI-Coaching supports your 3D visualisation projects
Many companies seek support when they want to break new ground in product presentation. Typical questions are: How do we integrate 3D visualisation into our sales process? Which tools are suitable? How do we measure success? iROI coaching helps answer these questions, develops use cases together with you and focusses on a high return on investment - not only in design, but also in marketing, lead management and sales.
Real added value is created when 3D visualisation is not viewed in isolation, but is embedded in the entire customer journey. This creates continuous, exciting user experiences - from the initial inspiration to the actual purchase. This is often a decisive advantage over competitors, especially in the B2B environment.
My analysis
3D visualisation transforms product presentations from static advertising materials into interactive brand experiences. It enables a high degree of flexibility, strengthens the trust of your target group and measurably reduces effort and costs. Those who integrate this technology into marketing, sales and development benefit from more interaction, higher conversion and innovative communication options.
Practice shows that companies that rely on 3D visualisation often achieve a 27 % higher conversion rate and record an increase in customer interaction of up to 65 %[1]. This clearly shows how much 3D visualisation can support the success of your product presentation.
