Great to look back on an inspiring and productive week in The Hague!
A big thank you to everyone who joined the FL3DMS Face-to-Face Meeting (21–23 April 2026) and the USPI Annual & Management Board Meeting (23 April 2026).
Over the past days, we had the opportunity to:
✔️ Share insights and progress on FL3DMS and related initiatives
✔️ Align on strategy and future roadmap
✔️ Exchange knowledge across the industry
✔️ Strengthen collaboration within the USPI network
Introduction
In today’s digital era, where data analytics, machine learning, and AI applications are revolutionizing our lives and work practices, large projects and facilities nevertheless struggle to managing their data in 3D models.
The creation of a 3D model is a prerequisite for development of a Bill of Materials and a construction plan. It is very expensive to create the model, yet most organizations do not realize their full potential.
A 2024 survey conducted by USPI revealed that only 20% of owner-operators maintain their 3D models. This allows them to implement multiple use cases, including brownfield engineering, operator training, maintenance planning, and integrity management. In contrast, 80% of organizations did not maintain their models, leading to a lack of trust and limited usage of the models and associated digital twins .

Last week, industry leaders gathered in-person for the FL3DMS Face-to-Face (FTF) meeting, hosted by USPI. Members from across the energy, engineering, and digital solutions sectors came together to refine and advance the FL3DMS standard – shaping the standard for the way 3D data is structured, shared, and handed over across the asset lifecycle.
With representatives from TotalEnergies, Shell, McDermott, Aker Solutions, Fluor, Wood PLC, TechnipEnergies, Gizil, Hexagon, Aveva, ReVision, Mitosis Digital Technologies, xclerate and USPI’s standardization partners IOGP, Standards Norway and DEXPI, the working group made significant progress on Release 1.3, which is scheduled for Q4 2025.

FL3DMS Release 1.3 is here!
We’ve taken a big leap forward to help you unlock the full potential of your 3D models – smarter, more consistent, and easier to apply across every project.
What’s New?
ReVisionz officially joined USPI and the FL3DMS project as a member on January 24, 2025. We are pleased to welcome Curtis Bookout, who will represent ReVisionz as a USPI Management Board (MB) member and actively contribute to the project's in-depth discussions. We look forward to a productive collaboration!
