3D Tiles Voxels

Your volumetric model shouldn't require a desktop application and a license to explore. We convert subsurface models into interactive, streamable 3D models in the browser using the 3D Tiles Voxel extension, so anyone with the link can explore the data.

Why 3D Tiles?

Stream, Don't Download

3D Tiles is optimized for viewing, only the visible voxels are streamed. A multi-million cell model loads progressively as users pan, zoom, and slice through it.

Open Standard

3D Tiles is an OGC community standard maintained by Cesium. No vendor lock-in, your data stays in an open, documented format.

Interactive Exploration

Slice through layers, filter by property ranges, toggle between properties, all real-time in the browser. Stakeholders can explore the model themselves.

Spatial

Combine voxel models with terrain, buildings, boreholes, and infrastructure in a single scene.

What We Convert

Your existing volumetric data, converted to 3D Tiles Voxels.

  • NetCDF, Zarr Climate, ocean, and atmospheric models
  • Geological voxel models Lithology, resistivity, porosity, or other property grids
  • Mining block models OpenMiningFormat, GSLIB, CSV exports from Vulcan, Surpac, Datamine, Leapfrog
  • Groundwater models MODFLOW structured grids
  • Seismic data SEG-Y volumes

Use Cases

  • Subsurface uncertainty show where the model is confident and where more investigation is needed
  • Ore grade models spatial variation in ore grade, identify high-grade zones
  • Stratigraphic models navigate geological formations interactively instead of static cross-sections
  • Geotechnical properties bearing capacity, soil stiffness, or derived parameters across a site volume
  • Groundwater models hydraulic head, flow paths, and aquifer properties
