Case Study: Vectuel achieves high-performance 3D digital twins with Mapbox GL JS

Vectuel powers 11 million users with Mapbox GL JS

Vectuel, a French company specializing in interactive 3D digital twins, faced the challenge of finding a web renderer capable of handling large, complex 3D models with high-quality performance and extensive customizability. They evaluated the Google Maps API but found it lacked the fine control needed for their design standards. Vectuel turned to Mapbox and its Mapbox GL JS product to build a new, flexible foundation for their SaaS platform.

By building with Mapbox GL JS, Vectuel gained the flexibility to integrate its proprietary 3D library and create highly polished, user-friendly maps. The solution provided the reliability and scalability needed for high-visibility projects. Results include a digital twin for the Grand Paris Express that handles over 150,000 users monthly and an official map for the Paris 2024 Olympics that scaled to support 11 million users, validating Mapbox's performance under heavy usage.
