Product Configuration (CFG)
Many businesses face bottlenecks due to routine CAD work and fragmented systems, leading to delays and errors in product configurations. This often hampers innovation and increases time-to-market. Bluestar Configurator (Bluestar CFG) can automate CAD tasks, enhance accuracy, and integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM, leading CAD systems, and Bluestar PLM.
Key Benefits
Streamlined order fulfillment
An integrated and streamlined order fulfillment process from sales order, configuration, quotation, engineering and manufacturing reduces costs per order and increases the number of orders which the company is able to process with an unchanged headcount.
Reduce errors
By reusing parts and items already approved by the engineering team, you can avoid the critical and time-consuming approval phase that new developed parts and items must go through. This reduces errors and saves you time and money.
Automate product design to reduce engineering costs
A fast generation of sales documentation (3D models, sales and production drawings, DXF, STEP files and more) and less required involvement by Engineering in the quote process, leads to enhanced responsiveness to customer requests and freed up engineering resources.
Minimize trivial engineering tasks
Reduces repetitive work and streamline engineering processes, while engineers can spend less time performing monotonous design tasks in CAD.
A more intuitive approach to product configuration
With 3D feedback to your configuration selections on demand, you experience a far more intuitive approach to product configurations that is easy to use and understand across Engineering, Operations and Sales.
Automate tedious, manual design tasks
Automate the process of mating together items and assemblies and turning them into 3D CAD models from 150% to Master BOMs.

Key Features
3D Visualization
Bluestar offers a 3D configuration interface that provides dynamic feedback as you configure. This provides a more intuitive configuration experience to Dynamics 365 F&SCM users.
Variant management
Manage 150% BOMs including all variants and from that configure 100% BOMs that fits exact customer requirements. Create, manage and maintain product variants and the associated data and documentation to gain an overview of the relations between variants, which designs they originated from and which variants have been created from specific designs.
Configure complex engineered-to-order products
Full integration with CAD and PLM platforms enables the controlled, manual processing of complex partially configured products.
CAD Automation
Auto-generate your 3D CAD models and 2D drawings based on the configurations created in the Dynamics 365 F&SCM configurator (or D365Product Builder) and more complex engineering configuration rules.
Dynamics 365 F&SCM Configurator Integration
Leverage the native Dynamics 365 F&SCM configurator (or the D365 Product Builder) or use the Bluestar Product Configurator to generate fast and accurate quotations.
BOM builder
Create an assembly model by mating together and positioning existing items, to build a BOM in a hierarchical structure that can be automatically generated as a CAD model and transferred into ERP.
- Intuitively drag-and-drop items into the BOM structure to adjust item positions and placement.
- Transform the created BOM structure into its 3D CAD model counterpart.
- Build 150% BOMs with a full list of all configuration options to choose from. Automatically insert the selected Master-BOM into CAD.
- Seamlessly check in the BOM structure into ERP for further BOM management and release to production.
