GiantEye technology unlocks new dimensions in XXL computed tomography

The introduction of GiantEye technology from mid-2026 marks the start of a new chapter in industrial computed tomography of large objects. The system builds on our established XXL-CT technology, whose benefits have been impressively proven in numerous applications in recent years and have constantly delivered value to our customers. A core field of use is the generation of holistic digital twins, which enable downstream processes such as deformation analyses after crash tests, benchmarking and the structured documentation of vehicle prototypes. 

GiantEye now takes this technology to a new level of performance and versatility. Two key innovations are at the heart of the development: First, a rotating gantry design that enables significantly faster, more accurate and more stable detection of large objects. Second, a newly developed visualization software that makes large data sets efficiently usable. What makes this tomography method special is its ability to reveal even the most hidden internal structures with a high level of resolution and data quality that enables entirely new use cases and sets new standards in industrial applications.

Beyond traditional quality assurance and defect detection, GiantEye paves the way for computed tomography to become a core technology in the digitization of large structures – just as optical methods like photogrammetry have long since established themselves in this field. Unlike these surface-based approaches, however, CT offers the distinct advantage of capturing internal structures without any need for disassembly. Even closed systems, such as components packed inside transport crates or freight containers, can now be fully and non-destructively digitized. This breakthrough not only extends the applicability of industrial CT but also unlocks entirely new use cases that were previously unattainable, thanks to the exceptional data quality now achievable. GiantEye thus becomes a central enabler for the future of large-scale digital workflows. 

Fraunhofer IIS has made decisive progress by designing the CT system in a similar way to a medical tomograph, enabling measurements to be taken in the normal position of a vehicle. The optimization of acquisition parameters and reconstruction methods also significantly reduces the measurement time. In addition, newly developed software enables the use of huge amounts of data and thus offers access to the added value from the process for far more users than before. What could previously only be evaluated by a few experts using special hardware is now accessible to almost everyone thanks to Fraunhofer IIS technology – like a CAD program in terms of handling.

Give your company access to an unprecedented method of analysis and knowledge that's tailored to keep up with ever shorter development cycles and effectively supports »speed before perfection« as the new principle.
