Overview
Chevron, a leader in the energy sector, sought to improve how its teams accessed and collaborated on massive digital twin models—ranging from oil rigs to pumps and wells. Their goal: enable secure, real-time sharing of large 3D assets within their organization using their existing Azure infrastructure. By partnering with echo3D, Chevron deployed a centralized platform that delivered instant access to 3D models and transformed how cross-functional teams work together.
The Challenge
Managing and distributing large-scale digital twins across departments posed a clear operational challenge for Chevron. Their teams needed a platform that could support the quick and seamless sharing of detailed 3D models—without compromising speed or security. Ensuring compatibility with their Microsoft Azure cloud environment was also a key requirement.
The Solution
Following a platform demonstration, Chevron selected echo3D for its ability to instantly render large-format 3D models—regardless of file size or type—directly in a web browser. The deployment allowed teams to upload, view, and collaborate on high-volume 3D data using echo3D’s optimization tools, all hosted securely on Chevron’s Azure infrastructure. The centralized system made it easy to interact with and update 3D content across departments.
Results
With echo3D in place, Chevron significantly reduced friction in sharing and accessing complex 3D models.
Key outcomes included:
- 2-second load time for 50GB-sized 3D models in-browser
- Secure and seamless real-time collaboration across global teams
- Full deployment on Azure cloud infrastructure
- Optimized workflows for viewing, editing, and updating 3D assets
Conclusion
Chevron’s integration of echo3D into its Azure-based environment delivered measurable improvements in both performance and collaboration. The ability to instantly view massive digital twins in a browser empowered teams to work faster, align more effectively, and maintain full control over their 3D content at scale.
