3D Laser Mapping Offers Forensics Workshop

Following the UK launch of a new and innovative hand-held 3D imager, Nottingham-based 3D Laser Mapping has announced a series of workshops designed to promote its benefits. The first workshop in the series is aimed at potential users of the Mantis Vision imager for the forensics sector and will take place on 20 November 2012 in Loughborough, UK. Additional application and market-specific events will be announced shortly. Users do not have to pay to attend the events.

“The MVC-F5 is ideally suited to the exacting requirements of users within law enforcement and forensic investigation,” commented event organiser Charlie Whyman from 3D Laser Mapping, distributor of the F5 in the UK, South Africa and Australia. She continued, “It’s small, light and easy to use. It can capture highly detailed crime scene data without the need to touch or tamper with crucial evidence. This free-to-attend event, and subsequent themed workshops, will provide potential users with an introduction to the concepts of 3D scanning, together with a thorough understanding of the benefits of the hand-held imager. Delegates will have the opportunity to get ‘hands on’ experience with the F5 and learn from experts and peers from within their sector.”
 
The Mantis Vision MVC-F5 is the only 3D imager specifically designed to meet the stringent demands of field use, operating at speed to capture millimetre-accurate measurements in seconds. It can be used on the move and is even covert: silent to operate and using infrared light that is naked to the visible eye. The F5 is ideally suited for use in complex and changing environments, where its size and speed of operation can be critical to a project’s success.
 
Demanding field users benefit from its rugged design, and an easy-to-use interface makes it ideal for those with little or no experience of laser scanning. The collected data is compatible with common applications and content-creation software, and the captured images can be quickly analysed with tools for measuring, triangulation and surface creation.
 
The first free-of-charge workshop will take place on 20 November at Burleigh Court, a four-star hotel and conference centre situated just minutes away from Junction 23 of the M1. The one-day event includes training materials and onsite refreshments and no registration fee applies. However, advance registration is required and places are strictly limited.
