Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Capture millions of precise spatial measurements from accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure to support analysis, measurements, modeling, and forensic animation.
Capture precise spatial measurements and create verifiable digital replicas for accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure. 21st Century Forensic Animations combines laser scanning with forensic analysis to help attorneys, investigators, engineers, and expert witnesses communicate complex evidence clearly in Minnesota-related litigation and investigations.

Forensic visualization services that preserve physical evidence and turn complex environments into clear, court-ready digital representations.
Capture millions of precise spatial measurements from accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure to support analysis, measurements, modeling, and forensic animation.
Create scientifically accurate 3D animations that reconstruct incidents from expert analysis and physical evidence, helping judges and juries understand complex technical findings.
Explore reconstructed scenes from multiple viewpoints through interactive models that clarify evidence, spatial relationships, investigations, mediations, and courtroom presentations.
Use aerial images to document large or complex scenes and produce accurate 3D models while preserving important evidence for analysis and courtroom presentation.
Extract three-dimensional measurements from photographs, videos, surveillance footage, dashcams, and images of physical evidence such as vehicle damage or skid marks.
Provide technical visualization expertise and testimony regarding laser scanning, photogrammetry, forensic animation, methodologies, and visual reconstructions used during litigation.
Terrestrial 3D laser scanning preserves detailed spatial information from physical environments and transforms it into usable point cloud data, measurements, models, and visual exhibits. For Minnesota-related cases, attorneys and investigators can use these verifiable reconstructions to explain scene conditions without relying solely on static photographs. Every project is grounded in physical evidence, documented methodology, and objective analysis.

Experience established forensic visualization expertise built around accuracy, objectivity, and clear technical communication.
Founded in 1989 as the first independent forensic animation firm, with 37 years of industry experience.
Receive dimensionally accurate exhibits supported by complete methodology documentation for Minnesota-related litigation needs.
Benefit from expert testimony capability and visualizations designed to help judges and juries understand complex evidence.
Access responsive forensic visualization support whenever urgent scene documentation or litigation assistance is required.
Pioneers translating complex physical evidence into understandable courtroom visualizations.
21st Century Forensic Animations was founded in 1989 as the first independent forensic animation firm. For 37 years, the company has translated complex physical evidence into precise, verifiable 3D visualizations that judges and juries can understand. Its work supports civil and criminal cases, both domestically and internationally, across matters ranging from motor vehicle accidents to war crimes. The team combines state-of-the-art hardware and software with knowledge of civil, criminal, state, federal, and international rules of evidence. For Minnesota-related litigation, its laser scans, models, animations, and technical testimony are developed to make spatial relationships and forensic findings easier to evaluate.
3D laser scanning captures millions of precise spatial measurements from physical environments. In forensic work, the resulting point cloud can document accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure. The data supports accurate measurements, scene analysis, 3D modeling, and forensic animations while preserving spatial information that may not be fully communicated through ordinary photographs.
