AXLEKEYSBETAShowroom is the customer-facing side of Axle Keys — where users, shops, builders, and businesses present configurable products to the public. A Showroom page is where repeated work becomes a public offering.
Showroom and Exhibition are related but different. The distinction is intent.
"What interesting configurable models are available?"
Public browsing and sharing. Models for study, education, and community. The audience is anyone curious about configurable physical objects.
Read Exhibition docs →"What does this person, shop, or business offer?"
Customer-facing product-line pages. Configurable products presented to buyers — with inquiry workflows, clear parameters, and owner admin controls. The audience is a customer evaluating a real purchase.
View Showroom →What Showroom is for
/showroom/:userSlug
The core Showroom page owned by a user, maker, shop, or business. Shows public profile, product lines, configurable models, contact information, and inquiry options.
/showroom/hkh-projects
/showroom/blue-square
/showroom/:userSlug/:productSlug
Individual pages for each configurable product or product family. Focused on one customer-facing object — with live configurator, description, parameters, and inquiry flow.
/showroom/hkh-projects/media-wall
/showroom/blue-square/display-wall
Public visitors see the product and configurator. The logged-in owner sees admin controls — edit products, manage inquiries, update descriptions, publish or unpublish, control visible parameters.
The goal is to make the product understandable to a customer — not only to a technical user.
Product content
Customer-friendly parameters
Expose only the choices customers should make. Protect internal construction details.
Do not expose internal formulas, part IDs, or construction offsets.
Showroom does not need to process full e-commerce orders immediately. A practical first workflow is inquiry-based.
What an inquiry may include
Configuration record saved
This lets the owner review exactly what the customer configured before responding.
Most Showroom products begin in Studio. The model needs stable geometry, useful parameters, clear parts, correct System, public-facing controls, and reviewed outputs.
Read Studio docs →The System gives the product structure. Cabinet Systems for closets, built-ins, and casework. T-Slot Systems for frames, carts, fixtures, and modular structures. Open Design for flexible custom objects.
View Systems →Expose only the options that make sense for customers. For a closet configurator: opening width, height, finish, shelf count, drawer count. Not internal formulas, part IDs, or construction offsets.
Explain what the product is, what can be configured, what is included, what is not, and what information is needed for an inquiry. Clear and customer-facing — not technical documentation.
After review, publish to your Showroom. Check page title, model loading, parameter controls, inquiry button, mobile layout, limitations, and related products. Test as a public visitor would see it.
Any business that repeatedly quotes, explains, or customises similar objects can benefit from a Showroom product.
A shop creates a configurable closet bay. Customers adjust width, height, shelf count, drawer count, hanging sections, and finish. The configured result becomes an inquiry.
A millwork business presents a configurable built-in media wall. Customers adjust overall width, lower cabinet layout, shelving, and finish options.
A fabricator presents a configurable aluminum extrusion cart. Customers adjust width, depth, height, shelf options, casters, and accessory mounts.
A business presents a configurable display stand, kiosk, or showroom fixture. Customers adjust size, finish, panel options, and branding locations.
Possible Showroom owners: cabinet shops · millwork shops · furniture builders · product designers · display manufacturers · aluminum extrusion builders · makers · fabricators · local manufacturers · architectural product companies.
A Showroom product may look customer-ready, but physical objects still require review. Owners are responsible for product claims, measurement requirements, material choices, fabrication decisions, installation details, pricing, lead times, fulfillment, and safety requirements.
Axle Keys provides the platform and model workflow. The owner remains responsible for the real-world product and customer relationship.

Build a configurable model in Studio, connect it to the right System, and publish it to your Showroom. Your repeated work becomes a customer-facing product — not a new conversation every time.
