2016 FORBES DIAMONDS
The aim of the Forbes’ Diamonds ranking is to recognize companies that are characterized by high quality management, professionalism and dynamic development, as well as a very good quality of its products. Companies that increase their worth the quickest land on the Forbes Diamond list. Data used for the evaluation include, among others, sales, net income, value of fixed assets, of the inventories, receivables and capital investments.
APPLICATION OF 3D SCANNING IN FORENSICS
3D scanning technology provides an invaluable tool for documenting traces of recovery and performing contactless scans of evidence.
Recently, SMARTTECH3D has explored the application of 3D scanning technology in forensics and criminology. This research was conducted in January under challenging conditions at a temperature of -3 °C. Initially, a snowy trail was covered with a thin layer of dry powder, effectively preventing light reflections during scanning.
During the test, we employed a single-measurement method to conduct six scans from different perspectives. The SMARTTECH3Dmeasure software processed the data, resulting in an accurate point cloud representation of the evidence.
3D scanners and printers can significantly enhance police activities, serving as essential tools for modern investigative forces. Unlike traditional archiving methods, 3D scanners operate completely non-invasively, minimizing the risk of damaging crucial evidence, such as footwear impressions. Additionally, they offer a higher degree of precision, enabling the collection of even the smallest details of the examined object.
Additionally, the resulting scans in the form of a model can be added to the database and compared with other foot impressions worldwide, even if the crime scene is no longer available. If you need physical imprints, then 3D printing based on a pre-made model will ensure a precision that surpasses traditional methods and allows you to copy the imprint without exposing the imprint itself. Besides, 3D printing can be used for creating a visualization of the proof. SMARTTECH, together with Canon, presented a complete solution at EUROPOLTECH 2017 fair.
