Soft for laser scanner 3d for linux

Hi all.
My friend asks me if I can scan his real sculpture to 3D.

He have laser scanner device and he use it on his computer. I have rotary axis he is not.
He use mach3, I use linuxcnc and his soft don't could be installed on my PC. I need to install windows as second OS but it's very inconvenient for me. Does anybody know any program to scan model to stl and be used on linux?

On windows and mach3 it's possible.
It's really nobody know how to use scaner on linux?

Never tried, so no experience. But you might start by looking here...

I do have nearly the same question but my 3d scanner is structured light one. It's Artec Eva . The option I know is to use soft like Wine to launch windows apps, but Artec studio seems not to be supported by Wine.

Where should I search?

I realy don't know if this lasers is suits me.
It's really old topic but this problem is also not solved. As reason I can install windows an second OS. An use scaner under it.

As for laser, my friend have point laser and the program should make movements like milling cnc to scan the shape. All this software seams to use cloud of points. And I need to have such cloud from laser.
