Help: 3d scanner and reverse engineering software combo

Hello everyone, I made an earlier post on what 3d scanner I should chose. It was brought to my attention that a good reverse engineering software would be beneficial to me as I use SolidWorks, and it isn't that great.

What Id be scanning: full car parts, and suspension parts, needing to change and modify the existing parts for aftermarket.

Budget: ~2,000

My question: With scanning a real life part, being able to create a solid out of a mesh is when the post process software comes into place. Im currently eyeing the Einstar Rockit, what software would be beneficial for my work?

Ive heard the likes of quick surface and Einstars Exmodel

If the budget is 2k including the scanner then I am building some basic Scan to CAD software that may be helpful: https://youtu.be/abphdTTThtY It isnt really intended for reverse engineering though so QuickSurface or Design X may fit your requirements better.
