Catalog description

This course will provide in-depth knowledge and operational training of FARO laser scanners in conjunction with the use of the FARO scan software. Laser scanning is a high precision method of rapidly documenting crime scenes and items of forensic nature by capturing millions of data points to create a 3D point cloud. Students will create accurate 3D scans in indoor and outdoor scenarios, import them into the software, extrapolate critical measurements, and prepare scan projects for mock courtroom presentation. This course will give students the opportunity to become Certified FARO Focus Operators upon successful completion of the FARO Focus Certification Examination.Offered by Forensic Sciences.
