iTwin Services, Bentley Systems’ platform for building digital twins of infrastructure, now supports loading 3D Tiles from Cesium ion.

The Golden Gate Bridge, tiled into 3D Tiles with Cesium ion, visualized with iModel.js — iTwin’s open-source visualization component.

This makes iTwin the latest platform to integrate with ion, joining a [growing number of places](https://cesium.com/integrations/) where users can combine their own 3D datasets with ion’s global layers, including Cesium OSM Buildings and Cesium World Terrain.

Cesium World Terrain is already the default base layer that engineers rely on when creating Bentley’s ContextCapture digital twins. This latest integration enables massive 3D tilesets from ion to be streamed into iTwins, so engineers can use their preferred tools, backed by ion’s high-resolution geospatial context and 3D tiling capabilities.

You can also follow our tutorial to learn how to build your own digital twin by creating an interactive Cesium-based building project.

Comment: Intel, the U.S. federal government… Cesium has been gradually transitioning from an open-source product to an enterprise-grade product.
