What Rayscan does

RayScan Technologies GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) that for approximately 25 years developed, installed, and serviced high-quality — in some cases unique — 3D X-ray inspection (Computed Tomography / CT) systems for industrial non-destructive testing applications. With the start of 2025, the company discontinued its own system development and manufacturing operations and transferred all intellectual property rights — including logos, product names, trademarks, patents, image material, and software — to CT am See GmbH, a Meersburg-based entity managed by Dr. Christoph Sauerwein, which now operates as the successor company.

In its current form, RayScan functions as a small consulting and advisory practice supporting the installed base of RayScan systems and assisting customers in procuring either standard or custom CT equipment. Its services span scan-strategy definition, system concept characterization, specification of scan methods, system geometry, X-ray sources, and detectors, as well as conceptual design, engineering, partner selection for development and integration, and radiation protection calculations for special systems. Customers requiring actual CT scanning services are referred to the strategic partner CT am See GmbH.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no public marketing channels and only a support email ([email protected]) as the documented point of contact. The revenue model is professional services — custom-quoted consulting fees — with no disclosed pricing or recurring contracts. Operating geography is the DACH region, and the company has no disclosed headcount, no funding history, no app or API surface, no AI or ML capabilities, and no listed customers or certifications in the input data.

Core offering

RayScan Technologies GmbH provides consulting and advisory services for the acquisition and configuration of industrial computed tomography (CT) / 3D X-ray inspection systems. The firm helps customers define scan strategy, system geometry, X-ray source, and detector parameters for standard CT systems, and provides conceptual design, engineering, and radiation protection calculations for custom systems. It also facilitates service and support for the installed base of legacy RayScan 3D X-ray inspection systems using trained in-house X-ray specialists.

Product overview

RayScan Technologies GmbH specialized for 25 years in developing and installing high-quality 3D X-ray inspection systems (3D Röntgenprüfanlagen). As of early 2025, the company has discontinued development and manufacturing of its own systems. The company now focuses on consulting and support services for existing RayScan customers, as well as helping clients procure standard or custom CT systems by defining parameters for scan methods, system geometry, X-ray sources, and detectors. A key partner, CT am See GmbH, provides CT scanning services for inspection needs.

This partnership ensures continuity of service for the installed base of RayScan customers.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights1 record

Broad incumbents

• Comet Group: Parent of YXLON and a broader industrial X-ray/CT and plasma control technology provider; serves the same end markets with a much larger and broader portfolio.
• Bruker: Diversified scientific instrument maker with industrial and micro-CT X-ray inspection systems; broader portfolio than RayScan but overlapping capability in industrial X-ray/CT.
• Shimadzu: Large analytical and industrial instrument company with industrial X-ray CT systems; overlaps with RayScan's domain but operates across a much wider product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Volume Graphics: Specialist in CT data analysis and visualization software used in industrial NDT and quality inspection, complementary to RayScan's consulting focus on CT system selection and use.

Direct peers

• TESCAN: Manufacturer of industrial CT and electron microscopy systems for non-destructive inspection in materials and life sciences; competes in the same industrial X-ray/CT category.
• YXLON International: Part of the Comet Group, YXLON manufactures industrial X-ray and CT inspection systems for non-destructive testing across automotive, aerospace, and electronics — the same product category and customer base RayScan historically served.
• Nikon Metrology: Offers industrial X-ray and CT (formerly X-Tek Systems) inspection systems used for non-destructive testing and dimensional metrology, overlapping with RayScan's 3D X-ray inspection domain.
• VisiConsult: German-headquartered supplier of industrial X-ray inspection systems and NDT automation, directly comparable to RayScan's historical product offering in CT-based quality inspection.
• ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions: ZEISS IQS provides industrial CT-based quality inspection systems and metrology software, a direct overlap with RayScan's industrial CT consultation and system-procurement advisory scope.
• Waygate Technologies: Industrial NDT and CT inspection portfolio (originating from GE Inspection Technologies and Baker Hughes), directly serving the same industrial-quality-control buyers RayScan targets.
