Stitching together 360 degree panoramas involves transformations
that you DON'T want for stitching together scans. Scans are made
of portions of a 2D object all lying in the same plane. The only
thing you do to stitch them together is rotate them so they overlap.
(with perhaps a *very* small amount of resizing).
If the program you suggest can be configured to do that, it might
work as well as hugin. I haven't looked at the one you suggest,
but most photo stitching programs are intended to be easy to use
for panoramas and therefore don't give you the amount of control
needed for the theoretically simpler problem of stitching scans.
