Company profile
researched Aug 2026Lumafield develops industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) hardware and cloud-based analysis software that let engineers inspect the interior of parts and assemblies without destroying them. Its product line includes Neptune, an industrial X-ray CT scanner sized for office or workshop environments and aimed at product development and quality labs; Voyager, a browser-based analysis platform for 3D and volumetric scan data that supports CAD comparison, measurement, and sharing; Triton, a factory-ready platform for continuous, lights-out CT inspection using AI and custom recipes to make go/no-go decisions; Atlas, an AI co-pilot for engineering analysis; and MARS, an in-line arrayed X-ray system intended to inspect 100% of parts at production speed. The company states that additional systems for metrology-grade dimensioning, large parts, and in-line inspection are in development.
The platform is organized around a three-stage workflow the company labels Discover, Diagnose, and Deliver: identifying defects such as voids, inclusions, contamination, misalignment, out-of-tolerance dimensions, cracks and delamination; correlating findings with process data across lines and sites to isolate root cause (linking units to machine, station, shift and settings, and mapping lineage across lots, suppliers and materials); and converting results into pass/fail and release/hold decisions, alerts, CAPAs and control charts. Software functions include automated porosity, wall-thickness and GD&T checks, trend and drift analysis, and integration with PLM, QMS and MES systems. Lumafield also offers services covering deployment, training, custom workflow development and multi-line or multi-site rollouts.
Stated applications span quality assurance and control, defect detection, non-destructive testing, supplier qualification, dimensional measurement, failure analysis, reverse engineering, competitive benchmarking, design verification and validation, first article inspection, assembly verification and material characterization.
Founding story
The company was founded in 2019 by engineers with experience across the product development cycle who were frustrated by the cost and complexity of modern manufacturing. They focused on industrial CT scanning as what they viewed as the most valuable but underutilized manufacturing inspection tool, and set out to replace what they characterized as massive, costly hardware and outdated software by rebuilding X-ray capture, analysis, collaboration and the commercial model.
Business model
Lumafield sells imaging hardware combined with software as a service, a model the company describes as including both hardware and software subscriptions, supplemented by services such as deployment, training, engineering support and custom workflow development. Deployments range from single engineering-lab systems to production-line installations and multi-site fleet configurations.
Combined hardware sales and software-as-a-service subscriptions, with additional service and support offerings. The company reported tripling annual recurring revenue in each of the two years preceding March 2025.
Traction
Lumafield reported tripling ARR in each of the two years before March 2025 and said 85% of its customers were new to CT scanning. Website case material cites customer outcomes including a Nemak aluminum engine-housing porosity investigation where analysis turnaround fell from three days to one and labor hours from 12 to three, plus aggregate customer program figures of 350% ROI from bringing NDT in-house, 120 days of development time saved, 85% faster decisions, and $18M of quarantined inventory cleared. Eaton is quoted as a customer using the platform across international business units.
Latest developments
In November 2025 Lumafield raised $50 million led by Silicon Valley Bank, intended for expanding operations and development. Its website currently promotes MARS, an in-line arrayed X-ray system for inspecting 100% of parts at full production speed, and states that further systems for metrology-grade dimensioning, large parts and in-line inspection are coming soon.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positions itself as a developer of accessible industrial X-ray CT, arguing that CT has historically been confined to specialized labs at large corporations because of cost, speed and complexity barriers. An investor in the Series C described the company as democratizing access to industrial CT. Independent third-party market-share or ranking data is not present in the sources.
Differentiators cited in the sources are ease of use for non-specialists, browser-based collaborative analysis that works with data from any 3D or volumetric scanner, dramatically reduced scan times (Ultra-Fast CT; Triton scans in as little as 0.1 seconds), integration of inspection results with production process data for root-cause analysis, and a hardware-plus-SaaS business model rather than traditional capital-equipment sales.
Technology
Core technology combines purpose-built X-ray CT imaging hardware with sub-millimeter precision, computer-vision and AI-based analysis, and cloud/browser-delivered software. The company says it rebuilt the stack from X-ray capture through computer-vision analysis to web-based collaboration. Notable technical claims include Ultra-Fast CT, which reduces scan time by more than 100x, a Battery Analysis Module for lithium-ion cells, and Triton's ability to capture CT scans in as little as 0.1 seconds. AI features include automated measurement recipes run across batches and the Atlas AI co-pilot.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales supported by a "Visibility Assessment" and pilot-on-one-line motion that can expand to additional cells, lines and sites, with published customer case studies and industry-specific pages. The company appointed a Head of Revenue in March 2025 to drive expansion and market adoption, and maintains dedicated sales leadership (Head of Eastern Sales) and customer success functions.
Manufacturers and engineering teams in medical devices, automotive and electric vehicles, aerospace and defense, batteries and energy, consumer electronics, consumer packaged goods, agriculture and food, and athletic equipment. Named or referenced users include Nemak and Eaton; the company says 85% of its customers were using CT scanning for the first time.
Geography
Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Customers are described as spanning multiple industries internationally, and one customer references use across international business units.
History
Founded in 2019, Lumafield introduced the Neptune CT scanner and Voyager cloud analysis software, later adding the Triton factory inspection platform, the Atlas AI co-pilot, Ultra-Fast CT, a Battery Analysis Module, and the MARS in-line arrayed X-ray system. In March 2025 it closed a $75 million Series C led by IVP and appointed Bill Cronin, formerly CRO of Xometry, as Head of Revenue. In November 2025 it raised a further $50 million in a round led by Silicon Valley Bank.
Risks & controversies
The sources contain no reported controversies, litigation or regulatory actions. Notable evidentiary limitations: most performance and ROI figures are company-published customer claims rather than independently verified data, and the November 2025 $50M round is described only as "funding" led by Silicon Valley Bank without a stated round label or valuation.
