Dial in your settings here, then use API/Script to batch process.
living starts with the handover. A product designer sends me a Dropbox link containing a 300MB High-Res `.OBJ` file. Then comes the "Oh Sh*t" moment when I try to load this file into Three.js or Shopify. The browser crashes, or the frame rate drops to 1 FPS.
Now I'm forced into the context switch. I have to stop coding, download Blender, and open a UI that looks like the cockpit of a 747. What follows is the manual labor; I spend 45 minutes watching YouTube tutorials on "How to bake normals" and "Retopology." I manually delete vertices, break the UV maps, and ruin the textures. Finally, the export. I export a `.glb`. It looks terrible. I try again. I'll eventually get it right but hey, time.
That's when the scale issue hits me. I realize I have 500 more products in the catalog to do.
Your Solution: I delete Blender, run one `curl` command, and go back to work, my regular work that is.
This is the "JPEG of 3D" and what Shopify/iPhone requires.*
The expected workflow is to spend some credits on the Web UI. Once you've got your dials right, use the API to zip through your files.

Cost: 1 Credit
Best for: Reducing file size while keeping the exact same geometry structure. Good for CAD models or models that are already clean.
How it works: It intelligently reduces polygons. It does not create new textures.
Cost: 2 Credits
Best for: 3D Scans, Photogrammetry, and Organic shapes.
How it works: It builds a brand new "clean" mesh (Retopology) and "bakes" the details from the high-quality original onto the new one using Normal Maps. This is the professional workflow for games and AR.
.bin buffer files. If your GLTF
has external buffers, upload as a ZIP containing the
.gltf and all .bin files together.

This command reflects your current settings. Use it to process assets via the API.
.obj or .fbx files with textures. Package the model + materials + images together — keeps everything organized.
.mtl and texture files (max 50) as separate -F 'file=@...' entries.
.glb files since they have textures embedded inside. You don't need to zip these.
Transaction History will record the name of the inner model file found inside your ZIP (e.g., my_model.obj), not the ZIP filename itself.

I was supposed to code a 3D printer project for myself while on a working vacation in NH in early Dec 2025. I told an LLM about my upcoming needs, but it misunderstood me. Instead, it told me about 3D Mesh, which actually sounded interesting. So, I built that instead.
I'm not steeped in this 3D world, but I can code. I thought, "I may be able to help you."
Let me know in the email form below if I succeeded.
