What's your plan? Just a heads-up?

The Mooncraft article is only about capture. seifrob points out an alternative, but looking for a link I see that 123D Catch is gone no longer supported.

It only obtains a dense polygon mesh. The Makerworks CAD/CAM toolchain graph (dating to 2015) shows their scanner outputting to an STL file. That's a tool-path.

Depending on what you want to do, a box modeler or parametric modeler might be appropriate.

If you want CFD, and you know you do, then look into Open VDB. It's supported in Blender, which will do animations.
