Useful suggestions, thanks. Using SpaceClaim we will have RE tools available, using "clean" Rhino without any RE addon such as RhinoResurf or Mesh2Surface will be difficult? Trying to understand the most cost/effective investment for our learning, considering we are just starting.
We will probably proceed step by step, starting with just the scan and mesh preparation, and giving to colleagues the difficult reverse part and next learning how to.
A second project is a shark tooth (attached the first scan), a definitely more organic shape. We need later to print it in 3d: we will need also to pass trough a CAD and solid modelling or we can stay with the mesh and just give them a depth and make it watertight?

Assuming they want a like for like model then no reason to put into CAD. Scan, mesh, fill the holes, smooth out any problems, align it to the world axis and then maybe cut a plane off the bottom and fill so it will sit flat.

In this case any suggestion for a good tool?
I think I did now understand the CAD topic, about mesh there are many more options, I did have on my laptop for testing Meshmixer, Netfabb Private, 3d-Coat, Meshlab, VRMesh Reverse, GOM Inspect, Cinema 4D, will need a lot of time just testing every of them.
Please explain to me how to...
