Four case types

We offer four kinds of legal and insurance scanning. Each card says what we capture, what you receive, and where to read more.

Standing behind the data

Calibration and testimony

A scan only helps if people can trust how it was made. Here is what we offer.

Calibration. We keep our scanners certified and can provide calibration paperwork on request. We scan with the Artec Spider, Eva, Leo and Ray.

Testimony. If a case needs it, our team will testify on request about how a scan was made. That means how it was captured and handled, not opinions on the case. Raise it up front so we can plan it and quote it.

What we cannot promise. The court decides what is admitted. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.

"As a trial attorney, it can be difficult to illustrate injuries to a jury, especially when they are inside the body, such as injuries to the spine. 3D Musketeers are our go to when it comes to getting models made that we can actually use to articulate our point ... I highly recommend them based not only on their products but on their professionalism and quality customer service!"

Time matters

Act before the object changes

Vehicles get repaired, released or scrapped. Injuries heal. Scenes get cleaned up. Once it changes, the chance to record it is gone. Contact us as early as you can and we will work to capture it quickly.
