3d image project for school

[ExtremeSi]

I am in MRC engineering and I need some sort of program that can convert a 2d image into a 3d image where we can measure the x,y, and z cooridinates of any point. I am struggling right now because I cant find anything that does it on the web. Does anyone have any ideas or anything at all? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Talked to the Engineer in our office...he uses Autodesk Inventor

bah ... you basically need a solid modelling program.... Autodesk Inventor does it, so does Solid Works, Solid Edge, Pro/E, Mechanical Desktop, AutoCAD 3D ... but they all cost money for a license.

MRC should have something there shouldn't it? ACAD at least .. you could use the ACAD 3-D functions.

what type of file is it? I have Inventor here at work and might be able to help you out.
