This is a lot of work, but if nothing else is available:

Take a pen and draw a lot of points on the surface of the object.
Connect these points with the pen.

Take a picture of the object, from the front, back, sides, top, and
bottom.

Use a ruler to measure the location of each point.  Enter these into
the mesh definition.

Like I said, this is a lot of work, but it may be your only option.

Regards,
John
