You typically are only using the file for reference. I used the scanner and scanned the side of a vehicle which would take a couple hours. then it would take a few more hours to align the scans and smooth and clean the scan.
At that point you can create a mesh file that gives you an .stl file (STereoLithography) which you will be able to import into a CAD system.
If you want a surface file from that mesh. Side of a vehicle could take a couple days. A surface just around a few areas would be just a couple more hours.
really depends how much info you want to extract from the scan.
