It’s been a year now that Bentley Systems acquired Cesium, tech transfer has been occurring between the two companies. Since the acquisition, the new parent company has been building up the offering’s capabilities, adding reality modeling services in its effort to advance its open platform.

Cesium capabilities are also enhancing Bentley’s product portfolio, bringing geospatial context to Bentley Open Applications and Bentley Infrastructure Cloud. MicroStation 2025, the latest release of Bentley’s CAD software for infrastructure design, introduces support for 3D Tiles via Cesium. Engineers can now seamlessly integrate any 3D Tiles content, including Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles and their own high-fidelity reality data, directly into their design projects. Cesium is also powering the geospatial experience in Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Connect, Bentley’s unified environment to connect data and people across the infrastructure lifecycle. With this geospatial context, also featuring Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, users can navigate more intuitively across and within their projects and assets available in Bentley Infrastructure Cloud.
