Lumafield Debuts Auto-Dimensioning

Lumafield, a company in industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) technology,unveils Auto-Dimensioning, a new capability that provides engineers with automated methods for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). By delivering NIST-traceable measurements directly within its CT platform, Lumafield provides engineers with metrology-grade accuracy and fast dimensional workflows.

With Auto-Dimensioning, Lumafield’s CT scanning technology now recognizes geometric features and measures geometric and dimensional tolerances such as flatness, parallelism, and profiles. The system automatically extracts internal and external dimensions from a single, non-destructive scan.

Auto-Dimensioning builds on Lumafield’s new NIST-traceable calibration process, a workflow that uses a reference artifact with a documented calibration chain. Lumafield’s new calibration process ensures consistent, repeatable accuracy across every scanner and every site.

Key benefits of Auto-Dimensioning include: 

• Faster dimensional inspections: Simple, intuitive verification of geometric and dimensional tolerances 

• Greater coverage: Measure internal and complex external geometries such as overhangs in a single scan to inspect a wide range of features.

• Broader material capability: Accurately measure clear, reflective, and soft materials.

• Accuracy: Powered by a NIST-traceable calibration workflow, Auto-Dimensioning delivers high accuracy, highly repeatable measurements. 

“Auto-Dimensioning turns CT scanning into a true metrology tool, making it accessible to every engineer,” says Andreas Bastian, co-founder and head of Product at Lumafield. “By automatically identifying and measuring features inside and out, we’re giving teams reliable, traceable data they can use to move faster, catch problems earlier, and build better products.”

Now in private beta, the capability will be generally available as part of Lumafield’s Voyager software in the first quarter of 2026.
