You would need to surface the point data, then that surface you can import into CAD.

yeah I'm definitely not interested in buying one, considering in theory I would only need to use it once. I understand you would pull points from the machine to create a mesh, but it would eventually be converted into STEP file format correct? Otherwise, what kind of file would it be/how would I use it? Also approximately how much time would be involved to pull points from the subframes, or even the whole car? I've never used one personally, only seen them used on small parts for qc.
