Forensics & Accident Scenes
When creating accident reconstructions, the sooner and faster the scene can be recorded, the better. With our 3D laser scanner, we can quickly record vast amounts of data and bring the virtual scene back to the office. Lines of sight, for example, can be analyzed from various vantage points or the scan data compared with OEM CAD files for vehicle deformation analysis. An accident animation may be possible in order to simulate the actual event.
The handy Focus3D is also ideally suited to perform rapid and complete 3D recordings of crime scenes or insurance damage. All details of relevance in any subsequent reconstruction of the crime or accident are covered. Similarly, in order to develop appropriate safety concepts for events, laser scans deliver the relevant 3D topography information.
By capturing crime scenes in 3D, we can provide an exact record of the entire scene at the touch of a button, allowing the site to be returned to normal use a short time later. The scan data can be reviewed at the scene or in the office. It can be viewed at the time or days, weeks or months later without losing any of the details. It is not necessary to hold onto the original evidence for years in case new questions arise. It simplifies storage requirements.
With 3D documentation replacing crime scene sketches, the crime scene reconstruction can be visited multiple times to verify witness testimony or evaluate hypotheses. Forensic scientists can accurately analyze line of sight, blood spatter and bullet trajectories to complement other techniques such as offender’s height estimation from video surveillance.

Applications for Architecture & Civil Engineering
· Built environment: Precise geometrical recording of existing properties as the basis for conversions or extensions
· Construction progress monitoring: Seamless capture and monitoring of construction progress for legal and technical documentation
· Rapid, simple and complete recording of the current condition of buildings and building sites
Heritage
Whether for restoration or scientific analysis purposes, for securing protected buildings or for virtual presentations of historical sites that must not be accessed by visitors. The FARO Focus3D offers the possibility of complete and detailed documentation of historical structures or excavation sites. Thanks to its integrated color camera, photo-realistic 3D images can be created instantly.
· Authentic, complete and precise 3D copy of reality
· Reproducible 3D documentation at your fingertips
· Easy conversion of captured scenes to ortho-photos and CAD
Applications:
· Due to the long range of the Focus3D, all kinds of high, long or difficult to access objects can be easily scanned and analyzed.
· Deformation monitoring: Determining if the surveyed structure or object is changing shape or moving. Saves time and rework during construction.
· Quality control: Precise laser scanning ensures that the final as-built condition fit design intent and minimizes the chance of potential problems.
Benefits:
· Time-saving, rapid, simple and complete recording of the current condition of surveying or construction sites
· Real-time, digital 3D data capture and analysis of materials, volumes, structures, topography.
· Due to the long range, enhanced registration of data and rapid capturing of high resolution data increases users’ productivity
· Precise positioning due integrated GPS
