Designing dart shirts usually involves a long and manual process — creating mockups, sending emails, preparing files for print, and waiting for approvals.
With Konfiwear, you can eliminate those repetitive steps and manage the entire customization process online — in real-time 3D, ready for production.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to design and publish your first 3D dart shirt using Konfiwear — from subscription to print-ready files.
Step 1 – Get a Konfiwear Subscription Plan
Before you start creating products, you’ll need a Konfiwear subscription.
Choose a plan that fits your business size and growth stage.
| Plan | Price | Key Features | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $90/month or $900/year | Publish up to 50 products, 100 designs, email support, quote order system | Small teams and workshops |
| Pro | $280/month or $2800/year | Unlimited products and designs, e-commerce integration, AI graphic generator, priority support | Professional apparel manufacturers |
Tip: Dart shirt producers who want to integrate their configurator into Shopify or WooCommerce should choose the Pro Plan, which unlocks full e-commerce and AI features.
Step 2 – Access Your Starter Pack
After activating your plan, you’ll automatically receive a Starter Pack with three ready-to-use 3D apparel models to explore the platform.
| Product | Preview | Description | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men Short Sleeve T-Shirt |
| A base model for standard sportswear | .glb |
| Unisex Oversized Hoodie |
| Perfect for lifestyle or fan apparel | .glb |

These starter models are great for learning how to upload, edit, and publish new products in your dashboard.
Step 3 – Upload Your Dart Shirt Model
To start designing dart shirts, upload your own 3D model — or use our ready-made dart shirt .glb file optimized for Konfiwear.

Once downloaded:
- Go to Dashboard → Products → Add New Product.
- Upload the
.glbmodel. - Fill in product details (name, description, price).
- Add size variants (S, M, L, XL), in
Customizer-Custom Sizes - Upload your product preview image.
Tip: For dart shirts, we recommend using polyester or micromesh textures for more realistic 3D visuals.
Step 4 – Configure Pricing, Categories & Product Details
Inside your product panel, configure your pricing structure and category.
Example pricing setup:
| Quantity | Price per Unit |
|---|---|
| 5–14 pcs | €69 |
| 15–24 pcs | €66 |
| 25+ pcs | Custom quote |
Then assign the product to a category such as:
- Dart Shirts
- Teamwear
- Sports Uniforms
Include size options, product code, and an image thumbnail (and optionally the AO image for better lighting).
Step 5 – Import Your Dart Shirt Designs
Now it’s time to make your product look like your brand.
Upload your design artwork to your Designs section in Konfiwear.
- Go to Dashboard → Designs → Upload New Design.
- Upload your vector or SVG design files.
- Link your designs to your dart shirt product.

Tip: Keep your artwork in vector format to ensure perfect print quality for sublimation dart shirts.
Step 6 – Launch Your 3D Dart Shirt Configurator
Once your product and designs are uploaded, you can launch your 3D configurator.
- Go to Dashboard → Customizer → Global
- Copy your Customizer Link or Deploy it if it's not active yet
- Share it with clients or embed it on your website
Your customers can now design their dart shirts in real-time 3D, changing colors, adding logos, and visualizing every detail before production.

Step 7 – Set Up Email Quotes and Notifications
If you want customers to request quotes directly from your configurator:
- Set up your SMTP email configuration following this guide:
SMTP Settings — Quote Email Configuration - Customize your Quote Email Form Editor under Settings → Quotes.
Tip: Use your brand domain (like [email protected]) to ensure better email deliverability.
Step 8 – Generate Print-Ready Files
Once the customer finishes their dart shirt design, Konfiwear automatically generates a print-ready file — perfect for sublimation or direct-to-garment printing.
You can access it directly in your dashboard or via the quote email.
🎉 Congratulations — you’ve just designed your first custom dart shirt in 3D and received your production file, fully ready for printing and sewing.
