Hi Tom,
I've only got three axis on both my mill and cnc router so for now anyway I'm happy with a 2.5 D scan. Any undercuts and the finished product won't come out of the mold. (I'm using simple one piece molds)
I don't think I need really high resolution for most of the work I'm doing. I mm would be more the enough I would think. Basically If I can scan a living person and get a life-like 2.5D scan that I can machine into a mannequin mold I'm there!
I use the negative mold to produce pieces like this..
