Glimpse Engineering

Battery quality management platform for EVs

Overview

Glimpse Engineering helps EV makers improve battery quality by offering a combined hardware and software platform that detects and eliminates defects in battery packs. The product suite integrates sensors and analytics to monitor manufacturing quality, enabling faster factory ramp-ups, reducing costs, and preventing failures that can trigger recalls. Unlike others that focus on either hardware or software alone, Glimp.se provides an end-to-end battery quality management solution, including ongoing maintenance and service contracts with automakers like Tesla and Toyota. The company's goal is to make batteries safer and more reliable, helping EV manufacturers avoid costly recalls and stay competitive in the rapidly expanding electrification market.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Glimpse’s site updated August 13, 2026, signaling active product and marketing momentum.
  • March 2025 Series A plus Ibex and Flybridge support extend runway for deployments.
  • Lucid, NASA, and Novonix customer mentions validate demand across automotive and aerospace.

What critics are saying

  • Glimpse depends on expensive CT hardware; OEMs can bundle software and squeeze margins.
  • Battery makers already buy quality tools from existing metrology vendors, slowing sales cycles.
  • If scan throughput stalls below factory needs, Tesla-scale adoption dies before 2027.

What makes Glimpse Engineering unique

  • Glimpse turns industrial CT scanners into a battery quality system of record.
  • Founders’ Tesla and Toyota experience sharpened defect detection for EV manufacturing realities.
  • TDK Ventures led Glimpse’s $10 million Series A on March 5, 2025.

Glimpse launches Explore, bringing its industrial x-ray CT analysis software to all hardware industries.

Glimpse launches Explore, bringing its industrial x-ray CT analysis software to all hardware industries. Glimpse releases Explore to complement its Battery and Automate packages in the Glimpse Portal, and opens a second Scan On Demand center in the Bay Area to support the company's expansion beyond batteries into medical devices, aerospace, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more. Glimpse, the industrial CT software and services company whose customers include NASA, Lucid Motors, Anker, and Amprius, launched Explore today, a new package of the Glimpse Portal that brings X-ray vision to all hardware teams. Explore joins the company's Battery and Automate packages and marks Glimpse's expansion beyond batteries into verticals such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, additive manufacturing, and electronics. Glimpse is also opening a second Scan On Demand service center in the Bay Area in October 2026, joining the existing center in the Boston area and supporting the increased demand unlocked by Explore's cross-industry capability. Industrial CT hardware technology has advanced substantially over the past decade while the software has not. The Glimpse Portal closes that gap by allowing users to open 100-gigabyte scans in seconds in their browser tab on an ordinary laptop, with no software to install and no prior CT experience required. Teams can store, search, and share scans in a secure system of record The Glimpse Portal reads CT scan data from any scanner, subscriptions cover unlimited users, and the company is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and ITAR compliant. The Glimpse Portal is sold in three packages. Explore is a CT scan viewer and sharing platform for everyday, largely lab-based inspection: examining every cross section at full resolution, taking measurements, and comparing scans side by side. Battery is a cell quality management solution that includes a high-throughput cell scanning module and a suite of generalized quality inspection algorithms trained on millions of examples. Automate addresses repeated inspection of the same part, frequently in at-line, in-line, or offline production use cases, where custom computer vision algorithms feed inspection results into quality monitoring dashboards. "Most engineers we talk to never actually review the CT scans they request, because there's no existing solution to do so conveniently and quickly. Someone in a CT inspection lab, often with limited context about which internal features need to be investigated, does the scan review and sends those engineers a report or a handful of screenshots," said Patrick Herring, Chief Software Officer and cofounder of Glimpse. "With Explore, anyone can open a scan themselves in a browser and look at whatever they need to see." Glimpse established its leadership in battery quality inspection, where scanning throughput and scan data review are a challenge. Cell producers and buyers need to catch microscopic defects across very large batches of cells, and conventional CT has been too slow to sample more than a handful of cells per day. The Battery package's high-throughput scanning module reduces scan time by 10 to 30 times, which lets battery companies increase sampling rates to hundreds of cells per day and beyond. Because quality operators can't review that many scans by hand, the Battery package includes cell inspection algorithms trained on millions of cross sections across a wide range of cell designs. Teams without a CT scanner can use Glimpse's affordable Scan On Demand services. Customers ship parts, trained CT operators scan them, and high-resolution scans are uploaded in the Glimpse Portal immediately after scanning. "Two things keep industrial X-ray CT scanning from becoming a mass-market technology that any hardware company can use: the cost of the equipment and a painful data review experience. We're expanding Scan On Demand to more regions so companies don't have to buy a scanner, and launching the Explore package to make sharing and reviewing scans effortless," said Eric Moch, Glimpse's CEO and cofounder. "I'm convinced that once these barriers are lifted, CT scanning will become to part quality control what 3D printing is to prototyping." Explore is available through Scan On Demand and in limited deployment for teams with their own CT scanner, with broader availability planned for early 2027. In the meantime, anyone can check out the Glimpse Portal's free demo that hosts over 1,000 real CT scans.

Glimpse raises inspection speed 10-30x to catch defects that cost LG $1.9B in Chevy Bolt recall

Glimpse has launched Explore, a product that helps hardware manufacturers speed up quality control using CT scanning technology. The Boston-based startup's software processes scans 10 to 30 times faster than traditional methods, enabling companies to inspect tens of thousands of parts daily instead of a handful. The company uses deep learning algorithms and edge computing to compress and clean CT scan images, which load in seconds rather than minutes or hours. Glimpse's system automatically flags defects and measures critical dimensions, helping manufacturers catch problems before they become costly recalls. Glimpse currently serves over 100 customers, including Anker, Lucid, and the US Navy, generating mid-seven-figure revenue. The startup targets aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical device industries. Companies without CT scanners can use Glimpse's scanning service, with facilities in Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area.
