Intellectual Property protection tool for 3D models
Encrypt credentials into 3D files published through your platform. Maintain the trust of your creators and buyers through the originality of the designs.
How our API worksWhy should we care?
There are millions of 3D designers who rely on marketplaces, stores and file sharing services to have their work protected. Security of author rights is one of the key factors in choosing a platform for sharing and selling 3D models.
On the other hand, buyers want to be confident that the assets they purchase are original and won’t be sold anywhere else.
Striving for publishing, selling and buying original 3D models is critical for keeping the industry up and growing.
How our API works
01
Creator uploads a file to your platform
02
The file goes to our server, where we apply a unique watermark and check credentials
03
The marked file is returned back to you
04
If credentials don’t match, you and the original author get notified
Features
Mark new 3D objects before they are used
• Apply a watermark to start tracking copies of a model
• Add author credentials to a file*
Check credentials to ensure assets are rightfully used
• Find out if a file was marked before by anyone else
• Spot potentially suspicious credentials
Notifications of IP violations
• Get notified of violation attempts and files with unoriginal credentials
• Inform creators about whom, when and where tried to use their files**
*Watermark 3D uses an email address as the main credential.
**We use the credentials provided upon first watermarking of a file to notify users about attempts to mark the same files by someone else.

The technology behind the process
Simply stated, Watermark 3D is a unique system for embedding hidden information into a 3D file without any structural changes or visual marks. The watermark can only be detected if the 3D file is uploaded to Watermark 3D and with the correct password. Compare it with traditional watermarks on banknotes where the identifying patterns are only visible when the note is held against a light. As for 3D models, our watermarks are near impossible to detect or duplicate.
- No damage to the original model
- Hidden
- Secure
