At Mazing, we develop digital solutions that support furniture manufacturers in efficiently digitizing their products and making them available in a scalable manner via retail partners.
The project with Niehoff is an example of how AI 3D models with a configurator can be used as a central database for planning, sales and marketing.

The aim was not only to create high-quality 3D content on a one-off basis, but also to make it usable in the long term for various applications – from retailer configurators to AI-generated milieu images.

Challenge at Niehoff

Niehoff faced several key challenges:

  • Wide range of variants: materials, colors and designs should be flexibly combinable

  • Scalability: 3D content should not only be able to be used internally, but also by retailers

  • Consistency: Uniform presentation across configurator, planning tools and marketing images

  • Efficiency: Reduction of manual 3D and rendering processes with consistently high quality

They were looking for a solution that combined 3D, configuration and visualization in one system.

Our solution: AI 3D models with configurator

Together with Niehoff, we have implemented an end-to-end digital product pipeline – based on AI-supported 3D modeling and a modular configurator.

Implemented services

  • Creation of 3D models with AI
    AI-supported generation of precise 3D models as the basis for all further applications

  • Digitization of textures
    Materials and surfaces were realistically digitized and parameterized

  • Implementation of a configurator
    Variant logic (materials, colors, designs) directly on the 3D model
    → Can be used by manufacturers and trading partners

  • Creation of AI environment images
    Automated generation of lifestyle and application scenes based on configurable 3D models

Results and outlook

The project with Niehoff shows the strategic advantage of AI 3D models with a configurator as the central data source:

  • Passing on to retailers
    The configurator can be used and integrated directly by retail partners

  • Planning and sales use
    3D models are available for room planning, presentations and consultations

  • Consistent product presentation
    Same database for configurator, planning tools and marketing images

  • Significantly reduced production costs
    Fewer manual renderings, faster variant creation, higher scaling

Conclusion

With AI 3D models and an integrated configurator, Niehoff is creating a future-proof basis for digital product communication.
The combination of AI-supported modeling, configurable variants and automated milieu images makes it possible to use products efficiently across different channels – both internally and externally.
