Training

The goal of this course is for attendees to emerge into Cloud Compare software - a free 3D point cloud and mesh manipulation program with a variety of different features. The attendees will get a basic understanding of Cloud Compare's functions and features as well as learn some of the advanced features that this software package has to offer. 

This certified training program covers some of the best practices of scanning with your iPhone and how to assure the accuracy of your 3D point cloud data. 

Photogrammetry is one of the most underutilized technologies. The use of a digital camera alone can lock away 3D evidence and measurements for future use.  This course is designed to familiarize you on how to use your digital camera as a 3D documentation device and apply it in your field area. This course is designed for beginner-intermediate level users who want to learn more about the workflow and capabilities of photogrammetry.  The concepts taught in this course will be applicable to several software packages.

The goal of this course is for attendees to understand what shooting documentation methods are best suited or at their disposal in any shooting scene scenario. It will cover the theory behind shooting scene analysis as well as the breakdown of available methods, such as manual methods with basic tools, photogrammetry, and 3D laser scanning. 

The goal of this course is for attendees to understand how to perform bloodstain pattern analysis using 3D software programs like Faro Zone 3D and Faro Scene. The course will focus on area of origin analysis as well as some advanced bloodstain analysis techniques including cast-off stain analysis. The course is delivered completely ONLINE.

This course is designed to introduce participants to the FARO Zone 3D (FZ3D) software package. FZ3D is FARO’s newest software designed for forensic professionals. This course will cover basic 2D and 3D mapping and modeling of crime scenes, the creation of simple animations as well as the utilization of point cloud data in the creation of simple deliverables and reconstructions.

The goal of this course is to introduce the attendees to a Laser Scanner. The topics include the basic principles of including physics and coordinate systems in relation to laser scanning. Attendees will learn what the settings on the laser scanner are, how it operates as well as learn how to utilize a laser scanner in a crime scene scenario. 

A complete training designed for participants to become familiar with the FARO scanner and associated FARO SCENE software. Participants will learn the basic theory and setup behind the technology of the laser scanner.
