Laser-scanned 3D models, drone documentation, VR walkthroughs, and CAD reconstructions turn complex crime scenes into exhibits a jury can actually understand. Used in shooting, collisions, slip-and-falls, and wrongful death cases.

Your jury is staring at a flat 2D diagram. They don’t understand the sightlines. They can’t grasp the distances. They’ve lost the thread of what actually happened. The photos only capture one angle. And the opposing expert’s floor plan raises more questions than it answers.
Millimeter-accurate 3D point cloud capture using laser scanners, drones (UAVs), and video cameras. Captures geometry, measurements, and spatial relationships in a single visit.
Photorealistic 3D models built from multiple software solutions. Accurate lighting, object placement, and event timing. Show what was visible from where — and what wasn’t.
Height analysis, speed of movement, position of objects, sightline verification. Quantitative answers to ‘could the witness have seen what they claim?’ type questions.
Traffic collisions, officer-involved shootings, riots, personal injury, arson, wrongful death. Reconstructions built from dashcam, bodycam, surveillance, and witness testimony.
Put the jury inside the scene. VR-ready models let jurors experience sightlines, distances, and spatial relationships from any vantage point.
Exhibits delivered in formats ready for in-court playback — iPad-driven VR tours, projector-compatible animations, still frame captures for printed exhibits, expert testimony available.
NCAVF’s 3D reconstruction work has supported cases involving police shootings, traffic fatalities, and wrongful death claims — including high-profile matters covered by national media. Our founder’s forensic video and reconstruction work contributed to the $21.5M Duda verdict, one of the largest child drowning awards in Illinois history.
What scenes can you reconstruct?
Any physical scene that still exists or can be rebuilt from evidence: vehicle collisions, officer-involved shootings, slip-and-falls, industrial accidents, homicide scenes, arson sites. We’ve worked on scenes from active investigations as well as decades-old cold cases.
How quickly can you get to a scene?
Rush deployment is available nationwide from our LA and Fort Lauderdale offices. Time-sensitive evidence (pre-demolition sites, weather-affected scenes) can often be captured within 24–72 hours.
Do you work from existing photos and measurements?
Yes. When the scene is no longer accessible, we can reconstruct from police photos, witness statements, measurements, and any available video. Accuracy depends on source quality — let’s discuss details during our free case assessment.
Can the 3D model be used outside the courtroom?
Yes — for mediations, depositions, expert witness prep, and settlement negotiations. Many of our cases resolve before trial because the reconstruction makes the facts undeniable.
What does 3D reconstruction cost?
Cost depends on scene complexity, travel, and whether expert testimony is required. Let’s start with the free advisory call with our case manager to understand your matter and give you a sense of the costs.
To give every case the attention it deserves — evidence review, clarification, expert analysis, court-ready exhibits, and testimony prep — we cap new engagements.
If your trial date is approaching, don’t wait. 3d forensic modeling has multiple high tech steps and video and audio work requires a month or more lead time to finalize.
