That kind of a sweeping question may be a bit over my head, but the way I see it, it seems like a logical assumption to think that technology would exist that would allow such a 3-D scan; however, I think it would only show things regarding a machine's moving parts, potential energy sources, freedom of movement, etc. The actual function or intended purpose of a machine's design seems like it would be something that could only be gleaned by a trained eye. That is, if a botanist and an auto mechanic looked at a machine of a design that neither of them had ever seen before, the mechanic would probably be able to figure out after some study that it was a diesel engine-powered post holer, while the botanist would probably just see a fancy machine with gears, pistons, and screws.
You may want to ask someone better versed in pan-SARP lore, however.
