About the Company

Lumafield was founded in 2019 to upgrade manufacturing.
Engineers with deep experience across the product development cycle, from initial ideas to shipping hardware, across industries and specializations, became frustrated by the cost and complexity of modern manufacturing.
Lumafield offers unprecedented visibility into products, as well as AI-driven tools that highlight problems and generate quantitative data, promising to revolutionize the way complex products are created, manufactured, and used across industries.
The company started with industrial CT scanning, rebuilding the entire system from X-ray capture to computer vision analysis to web-based collaboration to the business model, making advanced manufacturing tech more accessible.
Lumafield is designed for upgrades, building for greater intelligence, autonomy, and speed, deeper vision, operational excellence, and powerful insights.
