How Hausmann's 3D Builder Works for Custom Pro-Options Tables and Taping Stations
Updated
Hausmann's 3D Builder is a step-by-step online design tool for configuring Pro-Options Tables and Taping Stations to your exact specifications. You use it when a standard configuration won't fit your training room — whether you need a specific frame finish, accent color, or upholstery to match your facility. The builder walks you through each option in sequence and produces a product configuration in a few clicks, which you can then take to a quote request.
What the 3D Builder lets you customize
Based on Hausmann's own product pages, the builder covers three main areas of the product:
- Frame — the structural base of the table or taping station
- Accents — the trim and detail elements that finish the look
- Upholstery — the padding and covering material
This matches the customization scope described for the Hausmann Forged Aluminum line, where you can "customize the frame, accents, and upholstery, creating a cohesive and professional look." The same design logic applies to the Pro-Options Table and Taping Station configurations.
How the step-by-step process works
The builder is structured as a guided sequence rather than a single form. According to Hausmann, it "allows for step-by-step design to get the exact product you are looking for in just a few clicks."
The practical flow looks like this:
- Enter the builder from the Pro-Options Table page or the main 3D Builder entry point.
- Select your product type — Pro-Options Table or Taping Station.
- Work through each option group in order — frame, then accents, then upholstery.
- Review the resulting configuration as the builder assembles your selections.
- Submit for a quote using the "Get A quote" path once your configuration is complete.
Each step narrows the configuration, so the final result reflects a specific combination rather than a generic product. The "few clicks" framing suggests the option set is curated — you're choosing from defined finishes and materials, not specifying arbitrary dimensions or one-off fabrication.
When to use the builder vs. a standard configuration
Hausmann offers both paths, and the right one depends on your situation:
| Your situation | Better path |
|---|---|
| Standard training room, no specific finish requirements | Standard product configurations |
| Need to match existing facility colors or branding | 3D Builder |
| Multiple tables/stations that must look consistent | 3D Builder (same selections across units) |
| Unsure what options exist | 3D Builder (to see the full option set) |
| Need a fast quote on a common setup | Standard configuration + quote request |
The builder is most valuable when visual cohesion matters — for example, a training room where the tables, taping stations, and other furniture need to share a frame finish and upholstery color. If you're furnishing a single room with no existing design constraints, a standard configuration may get you to a quote faster.
What the builder does not do
The 3D Builder is a configuration and visualization tool, not a purchasing or pricing engine. Hausmann's site routes configured products toward a quote request rather than a direct checkout. That means:
- You won't see a final price inside the builder — pricing comes through the quote process.
- The builder doesn't replace a conversation about lead times, shipping, or facility-specific requirements.
- Custom selections may affect availability, so confirm timing when you request the quote.
Practical tips before you start
- Gather your facility's color references first. If you're matching existing equipment or team colors, have those on hand so your frame, accent, and upholstery selections are deliberate rather than approximate.
- Configure one unit fully, then replicate. If you're ordering multiple tables or stations, complete one configuration and note each selection so the rest match.
- Use the builder to explore, not just to order. Even if you end up choosing a standard configuration, stepping through the options shows you what's available and what a custom version would look like.
- Request the quote with your configuration attached. The builder output is the input to Hausmann's quote process — the more complete your configuration, the more specific the quote you'll get back.
For facilities that need training room furniture to look and function as a set, the 3D Builder is the fastest way to define that set before committing to a quote.
