There isn't a way to model from pointcloud in PC-DMIS. You will have to export either the point cloud or surface mesh and model it with a different software. If you are working with Solidworks, I would avoid using surface mesh (stl) files.
Keep in mind, laser scanning generally does not do well with thin sheet metal, unless your using a software like Polyworks. If the flat pattern is not too complex, instead of scanning, I would measure as many primitive features as possible (lines, circles, slots, ect.), then export the measured items as .igs file, and sketch the rest of it together in another CAD software.
