I have the "ability" to 3D scan parts. I own a Miraco from the company Revopoint.

This is "just" a 1300 USD scanner and it certainly doesn't compete with the professionnal ones in term of scan quality (from 10k$ up to 100k$ and more).
I have attempted to scan and reverse-engineer the CHMSL from the ZR-1 (high mounted stop lamp) as a starter for a little project,
The scanning process is tedious and requires a lot of experience and attempts to get a decent result. It's a learning journey.
If you want to reverse-engineer the part afterward, it's even more difficult.
You basically need to recreate the part by modelling shapes around the scanned data. If the part is symetrical and has very few features, it's quite OK.
I'm pretty good with Solidworks, and god, I had the worst time of my life doing this.
This was my first reverse engineering attempt. I should have tried with a much easier part, like the LT5 oil pump seat which is also on my scanning project list. I'll get better by practising for sure!
I have seen that some companies specialized in scanning and reverse-engineering parts, here's an exemple :
