FARO Zone 3D Software

    Impressive visuals with 2D/3D diagrams, analysis, animations and videos

    When an incident occurs, investigators and forensic experts must establish the facts and thoroughly document the case. This process is critical for crash reconstruction, crime and fire investigation, and for creating courtroom presentations.

    Datasheet

    FARO Zone 3D Pro and Zone 3D Expert makes it easy to perform accurate analysis of an event and produce detailed visuals, such as precise 2D and 3D diagrams, compelling animations, and courtroom –ready reports.

    Significant to the newest version of this investigation software is the ability of Zone 3D Pro to import point cloud data; and for Zone 3D Expert, FotoPoints — FARO’s new photogrammetry engine — the capability for you to import photographs from any source and convert it to a point cloud, thus eliminating the need for third-party software.

    Zone 3D Pro and Zone 3D Expert Software are the most data-agnostic versions of Zone yet — making the most comprehensive scene documentation software on the market even better.

    • Create Compelling Presentations: 3D Walk-throughs and fly-throughs help jurors, investigators and other viewers gain a spatial understanding of the scene that is much more compelling than a 2D diagram. 
    • Generate Accurate Diagrams: Create 2D and 3D diagrams that precisely represent all details of a crash, crime, or fire scene, with pre-drawn models, evidence placards, dimensions, posed bodies, and links to photographs and reports. Photorealistic scenes display multiple light sources, high-resolution material textures, fog, rain and snow.
    • Animate Crashes in Seconds: Use point-based accuracy to match crash animations exactly to measurements captured at the scene. Include advanced effects like spinning and locked wheels, car doors that open, trailer articulation, explosions, smoke and fire.
    • Fully Analyze Scenes in Zone 3D Expert: Analyze the scene with confidence using the independently validated tools for bullet trajectory and blood spatter pattern analysis. Crash analysis tools within Zone 3D Expert apply accepted formulas to perform crush analysis, calculate speed from skid marks, critical speed yaw, momentum and more. 

    The Leading 3D Investigation Software Platform

    • FARO Zone 3D Pro is a revolutionary software application for public safety professionals and the first of its kind to enable investigators to move fluidly between 2D and 3D environments, enhancing the quality of incident reconstruction analysis. For forensic investigators, Zone 3D Pro provides the ability to use point cloud data for creation of courtroom deliverables. Import manual measurements, aerial photographs, laser scans or total station data to quickly create 2D and 3D scene diagrams.

    One Software Does It All

    • FARO Zone 3D Expert includes all the features of Zone 3D Pro — like the ability to use point clouds from laser scanners and drones — plus the capability to convert photographs to a point cloud, determine witness perspectives, create extremely realistic animations, and share the results in a virtual reality environment. Being prepared for court was never as easy with the most data agnostic version of this software yet.

    Features at a glance

    Point Cloud Capability

    Zone 3D Pro and Zone 3D Expert can import point cloud data from laser scanners in .pts and .E57 formats, directly from FARO SCENE projects, and from drones in .las file format.

    One Software Does It All

    FotoPoints is the Zone 3D Expert photogrammetry engine, allowing you to import photographs from any source and convert it to a point cloud, thus eliminating the need for third-party software.

    Precise, Fast Drawings

    Extensive drawing tools, paired with object grips and automatic snaps, make it easy to create accurate 2D and 3D diagrams to exact measurements.

    Compelling 3D Results

    Create realistic fly-throughs, vehicle and human animations with shadows, rain, snow, fog, animated vehicle headlights, brake lights and traffic lights.

    Intuitive User Interface

    Features an intuitive user interface with constant feedback, helpful how-to videos, comprehensive documentation, integrated workflow guides and free instructor-led, online training.

    Easy Workflow

    Merge and align point clouds, or use point cloud models, to place vehicles that were removed back into the scene of the crash.

    Fully Analyze Scenes

    Analyze the scene with confidence using the independently validated tools for bullet trajectory and blood spatter pattern analysis. Crash analysis tools apply accepted formulas to perform crush analysis, calculate speed from skid marks, critical speed yaw, momentum and more.

    Advanced Diagramming Tools

    Take all your measurements from the point cloud captured at the scene. Snap to specific data points to create accurate diagrams, export chosen points with “virtual surveyor” mode, and use point clouds to create stunning animations and VR scenes.

    Data-Agnostic Compatibility

    Open diagrams from CAD Zone, ARAS, and other standard CAD formats. Bring in measurements from manual methods, drone photos, satellite maps, data from total stations, and data from laser scanners, even if they’re made by different manufacturers.

    Pre-drawn 3D Models

    Access a huge library of pre-drawn 2D symbols and 3D models for crash, crime and fire scenes. Add a comprehensive 2D floorplan or an architectural diagram. Show doors, stairs, elevators, control panels, hazardous materials and more with the pre-drawn symbols (such as accepted fire symbols like NFPA 170 and 704 placards) that are included.

    Flexible Starting Point

    Take measurements from almost any source and import manual measurement data from total stations and point cloud data from laser scanners and drones. Use an aerial map or drone data from EagleView, Google, or Bing to create easy-to-read pre-incident and threat assessment diagrams.

    Applications

    Forensic Analysis and Pre-incident Planning

    Create fast, accurate 2D and 3D drawings for public and private investigators to help with law enforcement, fire cause investigation and insurance claims. These images help with state crash reports, crime scene investigations and arson investigation. Plus they give courtroom presentations the “CSI effect” with visually stunning 3D animations and fully immersive 3D environments that leave jurors and judges with the sense of being at the scene of a crime.
