Court-Ready 3D Forensic Scanning and Imaging

3D forensic scanning and imaging captures accident scenes, crime scenes, vehicles, buildings, industrial sites, and other evidence in measurable digital form. Laser scanning, drone imagery, photogrammetry, and modeling can preserve spatial relationships, document conditions, support expert analysis, and create courtroom visuals that help attorneys explain technical findings clearly.

These services are most often used by trial attorneys, prosecutors, criminal defense lawyers, expert witnesses, forensic engineers, insurance companies, investigators, and government agencies. They are valuable in motor vehicle collisions, product liability cases, fires, explosions, officer-involved shootings, aviation incidents, eminent domain disputes, and other matters involving complex physical evidence.

Laser scanning uses a terrestrial scanner to capture millions of precise spatial measurements from a scene or object, producing a detailed point cloud. Photogrammetry extracts three-dimensional measurements from photographs or video. Laser scanning is ideal for full scene documentation, while photogrammetry is often useful when only existing photos, surveillance footage, dashcams, or altered evidence remain.

Yes. When properly documented and based on reliable data, 3D scans, models, animations, and demonstrative exhibits can support litigation. 21st Century Forensic Animations builds visuals from physical evidence, expert analysis, and verifiable methodology, with documentation designed to meet rules of evidence across civil, criminal, state, federal, and international jurisdictions.

Pricing depends on the scope of the evidence, size of the scene, urgency, required deliverables, and whether laser scanning, drone imagery, photogrammetry, animation, or expert witness support is needed. First-time clients can receive a free consultation to review the matter and identify the most efficient, defensible approach before work begins.

The company is available 24/7 and is accustomed to litigation deadlines, urgent scene documentation, and time-sensitive trial needs. Scheduling depends on scene access, location, safety requirements, and deliverable complexity, but the team emphasizes meeting every deadline and selecting workflows that preserve evidence while minimizing unnecessary delay.

Deliverables may include point cloud data, accurate 3D models, aerial reconstructions, close-range photogrammetry measurements, demonstrative animations, interactive 3D models, methodology documentation, and expert witness support. The final package is tailored to the case strategy, evidence available, expert opinions, and the format needed for mediation, deposition, arbitration, or trial.

The company provides services domestically and internationally, with identified service areas including Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana. Some work can be performed from existing evidence such as photographs, videos, scans, reports, and measurements, while scene capture may require travel, coordination with investigators, or access to the physical location.
