Security starts with delivery.
It should look 3D. It should feel 3D. It should never expose your original model. The safest model is the one that never reaches the browser.
- The browser is untrusted
Everything delivered to a browser should be assumed observable.
- Viewing is not ownership
Inspecting a model should never require possessing the original asset.
- The source is temporary
Original uploads exist only long enough to generate a protected runtime representation.
- Access is intentional
Every viewing session is explicitly authorized by the asset owner.
How does it work?
From upload to secure share
Upload
Upload .stl, .step, .obj, .glb, or .fbx.
Generate
Source file is processed into a secure 3D representation.
Remove Source
Permanently remove the original upload.
Deliver
Share secure 3D representation via a link or embed.
Standard viewer vs BANANA-GOAT viewer
Same interactive viewing for your audience. Different protection for your model.
Standard 3D viewer | BANANA-GOAT |
|---|---|
| Browser delivery. Standard 3D viewer: Full 3D model reaches the browser. | Browser delivery. BANANA-GOAT: Secure runtime artifact, not your source file. |
| Model exposure. Standard 3D viewer: Model exposed to scraping, inspection, and download. | Model exposure. BANANA-GOAT: Interactive review without handing over reusable geometry. |
| Embed risk. Standard 3D viewer: Embeds expose geometry to scrapers and extractors. | Embed risk. BANANA-GOAT: Embeds show the model without reusable geometry. |
| Viewer access. Standard 3D viewer: Shared links deliver the file, not a scoped view. | Viewer access. BANANA-GOAT: Free viewing via links and embeds. No account. |
| Source retention. Standard 3D viewer: Source files stay until someone deletes them. | Source retention. BANANA-GOAT: Source uploads removed seconds after processing. |
Frequently asked questions
Is this just another 3D file-sharing service?
No. BANANA-GOAT is built for showing models in the browser, not handing over files. You upload; your audience views. The workflow is designed so the source doesn't travel with the link.
Can someone download my original CAD from the viewer?
No. The browser receives a processed viewing artifact, not the file you uploaded. Original source extraction isn't possible through this flow.
How is this different from a standard 3D viewer?
Standard viewers expose your model to the browser: geometry that can be downloaded or scraped. BANANA-GOAT replaces that with a secure runtime representation built for viewing, not reuse.
When is my upload deleted?
Seconds after processing. What stays in your library is the processed output. A large source upload doesn't remain stored or billed as source size.
Can the runtime file still be captured?
A determined user might grab the processed artifact. That's not your original CAD. It's snapshot-oriented data. Turning it into something production-ready is commercially impractical compared to getting the real file from a standard viewer.
Do viewers need an account?
No. Only people uploading and managing models need one. Anyone with a share link or embed can view for free.
Does this replace our internal CAD tools?
It's aimed at teams who need to show 3D beyond traditional file handoff: client review, demos, embeds, platforms. It can also reduce exposure where internal tools still pass real geometry around.
When is a standard viewer enough?
If downloadable source-grade 3D on the web is fine for your workflow, or flat images are all you need, you probably don't need us. BANANA-GOAT is for when showing the model matters and giving it away doesn't.
