it doesn't. The scanner just gets the exterior contours and features. That data is then brought into a CAD program and worked on from there. I spent 6 hours trying to figure out how to use the scanner and I could never get a complete 100% scan. It couldn't get all the contours and shapes of the sample part it came with.
