KEY POINT

From crime scene documentation and evidence preservation to streamlined analysis and reconstruction, Artec 3D scanners are transforming the landscape of forensic investigation and helping to create a safer, more just world.

Case Studies

3D scanning for traffic accident reconstruction

Challenge: The objective is to utilize 3D scanning technology to accurately document and analyze damaged vehicles involved in accidents for the purpose of reconstruction and investigation. This entails capturing comprehensive, color, submillimeter-resolution 3D images of the vehicles, allowing for thorough inspections, assessments, and record-keeping. The resulting data and findings must be of high enough quality to be admissible as evidence in legal proceedings and court trials.

3D scanning tested against photography in a study on forensic methods

The Objective: In a forensic context, the aim is to employ a portable, color 3D scanner to digitally record a human body exhibiting simulated tattoos and various types of injuries. The scanner's performance, in terms of accuracy and efficiency, will then be compared to that of conventional forensic photography techniques.

Artec 3D scanners help police identify footprints at crime scenes

The Goal: To employ portable, handheld 3D scanners for the rapid and efficient digital documentation of the complete topography of specific footprints found at crime scenes, on-site.
