Lumafield: Fixing Manufacturing’s Blind Spot

In manufacturing, one mistake can spell disaster.

Massive recalls can cost companies billions of dollars and cause long-lasting brand damage, while smaller product quality issues can subtract as much as 20% of an organization’s revenue each year.

Semiconductor manufacturers understand this, which is why they’ve invested in advanced systems for uncovering defects and making sure every chip that leaves the factory is flawless. But manufacturers in most other industries are behind.

Today, most companies conduct quality assurance (QA) by either tearing a product apart, spending millions of dollars on slow, outdated CT scanners, or outsourcing the work to a third party. This can add weeks to development cycles and lead to critical failures being identified only after they happen.

Manufacturers deserve an end-to-end hardware and software solution that makes CT technology more affordable and accessible. Lumafield is the solution these companies have been waiting for, which is why we’re leading their $75M Series C. With previous roles at companies like Desktop Metal, Formlabs, and Autodesk, CEO Eduardo Torrealba and his co-founders are the perfect team to bring these sophisticated advancements to the masses.

Customers use Lumafield to access industrial-grade CT scanning that shares and analyzes terabytes of 3D data in real-time, instead of spending a small fortune on a cumbersome legacy scanner. That means companies testing new products can detect issues, figure out what’s wrong, and fix problems in a fraction of the time it takes them today. Rather than randomly spot-testing products, Lumafield is bringing forward the future where manufacturers can scan every single product coming off the assembly line—a process that was unheard of just a few years ago.

Lumafield is a critical partner to some of the biggest names in American manufacturing, across both large enterprises (Unilever, Eaton) and fast-growing startups (Skydio, Whoop). As one customer put it, "We have always wanted a tool like Lumafield, but nothing else was accessible due to price, user-friendliness, and compute requirements. The machine sold itself."

Wide open runway ahead

Proactive CT scanning is no longer a nice to have; it’s essential to preventing costly shutdowns and recalls. Yet eighty-five percent of Lumafield’s current customers had never used CT scanners before, which means plenty of companies—both in the U.S. and around the world—still need this technology.

With American manufacturing on the cusp of a new golden age, Lumafield is helping the brands we use every single day to maintain a world-class customer experience – and changing manufacturing forever.
