Simulated Crash Scene Data from IPTM 2025 in Orlando

Please click here to view a freshly captured Dot3D sample scan of a simulated crash scene from the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM) Symposium on Traffic Safety in Orlando, FL last month. This was captured and processed under a tight time crunch (5 min total!) without the use of targets or advance preparation. While we wouldn't necessarily recommend that last part, it's always great to see Dot3D delivering under such challenging conditions.

Special thanks to our partners at Collision & Crime Forensic Solutions for hosting us at their booth all week. And to Leica Geosystems and the IPTM for arranging the simulated crash scene and hosting an excellent event.
