Artec 3D scanners for forensics

Fast, accurate, and contactless Artec 3D scanners transform your forensics workflow.

3D scanning for forensics

With your Artec 3D scanning solution, you’ll easily create virtual copies of crime scenes, accident scenes, as well as the physical evidence within, exactly as it was at the moment of scanning, with no risk of contamination or damage. The 3D data you obtain will give you the power to determine both how and when an event occurred. In just minutes, you can capture evidence indoors or outdoors, including bloodstain patterns, bullet holes, tool marks, shoe prints, and much more.

Benefits

Desktop or handheld, Artec scanners capture at high speeds, saving precious hours if not days of work at the crime scene itself. 35 mln points/s (max. speed) 100% contact-free. Non-contact 3D scanning ensures virtually no risk of damage or contamination in crime scene forensics.

By delivering unbeatable accuracy, scanning solutions help forensics teams reconstruct scenes precisely and build stronger cases. 0.01 mm max. accuracy

Reveal evidence that can otherwise go unnoticed, with the help of the sharpest, cleanest 3D scans. 0.029 mm max. resolution

Training on Artec scanners will take you and your team less than 2 hours, after which you will be ready to make highly precise 3D scans on your own! <2h to master

Applications

Crime scene documentation and reconstruction

Artec’s professional 3D scanning solutions help you capture crucial data in a matter of minutes: examine and document crime scenes indoors and outdoors, night or day.

Crash reconstruction

Documenting forensic crash evidence following serious vehicle accidents? With Artec 3D scanners, it’s that much faster, easier, and safer.

Collecting and digitizing evidence

No more lost, compromised, or out-of-context data: Artec scanning technology helps you record and document all critical evidence onsite, so you can then revisit and analyze any evidence later on, even details you or other investigators may have overlooked in person.

Running simulations for various crime scenarios

Reconstruct pieces of evidence in a digital environment, use 3D data for extensive forensic analysis, and export it for crime scene simulations, to visualize multiple scenarios on your screen.

Creating virtual crime scenes for court

Use 3D scanning to thoroughly capture details for presenting lifelike virtual replicas of evidence during pre-trial and court hearings.

Forensic anthropology & odontology

3D scan human skeletal remains and entire death scenes to determine the identity of the deceased, estimate the time of death, and interpret any signs of trauma present.

Success story

A leading forensic anthropologist discovers a way to quickly 3D scan bones, skeletons, and entire death scenes, as well as to minimize 3D data processing time – with Artec 3D

“Artec has truly changed the face of forensic anthropology with Space Spider, Leo, and Ray. I’ve integrated Artec’s solutions into my daily field work as well as my regular and special classes for investigators, law enforcement officers, and college students, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.”
