BuildCores 3D Configurator API: Technical Documentation

Version 2.0.

1. High-Level Overview​

BuildCores lets PC shoppers and builders visualize selected computer components as interactive 360-degree renders. The BuildCores 3D Configurator API exposes:

  • A backend REST API for fetching renderable part data, fetching existing build data, and creating cloud-rendered 3D build assets as video or sprite-sheet media.
  • A frontend React component library, @buildcores/render-client, for embedding drag-to-rotate viewers in partner sites and applications.
