FAQ

Account, Subscriptions and Service

What is the Secure 3D View API ?

When an object is displayed in a web browser the source 3D model file is downloaded to the client machine. The source file can easily get stolen.

If you have a web-store for precious 3D meshes such as jewelry design, custom wearable design or industrial equipment design then this is an ideal solution for you to thwart piracy and protect your IP.

Upload your 3D model to Manifold via the /render API and get secure 3D viewable content that be displayed in the web-browser without exposing the source 3D model file.
