In today’s digital age, presenting photographs and evidence of crime scenes to justice seems archaic; Fortunately, 3D scanning technology is beginning to take its rightful place for mirroring crime scenes in the courtroom.

The process of documenting a crime or crash site can be a difficult job, always at risk of losing some important evidence or getting an incorrect measurement. By relying on a 3D scanner such as

, a crime scene investigator can create much more detailed documentation in a much shorter time. This level of accuracy can be decisive in solving complex cases.

More and more investigators are now using 3D laser scanners to document the locations of crimes, crashes and fires.

Fast, accurate crime scene forensics.

Increasingly, 3D scanning and capturing reality provide the thorough, data-driven documentation investigators need when analyzing an arson crime scene or other crime scene. By storing information digitally, forensic investigators can review even the smallest details, share that information with colleagues, and return to the virtual crime scene over and over again to evaluate the evidence.

Detailed 3D images and reconstructions can serve as strong courtroom evidence.
