Problem is it takes a lot of time, knowledge and research do each type of work properly.

If you bought a scanner my advice would be to corner a market you know and do a couple of applications really well (i.e. inspection / reverse engineering etc) rather than a bit of everything as you'll just end up spending hours and hours figuring stuff out.

We've tried selling scans before but there's a billion CAD models out there to buy for a couple of dollars e.g turbosquid etc so there wasn't really a demand

Let us all know how you get on!

Can you share with me the experiences with a marble statue?

I think the folks who designed the car engine might also grace you with a big fat cease and desist

You did not create or pay for the design

And you want to sell it to others

How would this be different from ripping a bunch of copies of a dvd and selling them on the street corner?
