It is conceivable to make an inexpensive diy 3d laser scanner, feed that into open foam, and model your car that way.

It is equally conceivable to adjust the computer model till you like the numbers, and have the same laser scanner highlight (directly on the car) the spots where you need to build up and where you need to sand down on your car/plane/boat.
