I’ve been using LiDAR to scan rooms and it has been incredibly accurate. Issues remaining are mirrors and water.

  Same here. I used an app called RoomScan Lidar on my iPad Pro to obtain very accurate plans of some rooms in my house that we are planning to renovate. Lidar is a real game changer for such applications.

    I’m curious what the file types you get out of this system are? I’d very much like a 3D scanning solution that could accurately capture things like molding or other smaller architectural details. Is this system good enough on small parts?

      No, the resolution isn't even close to good enough to get that kind of detail at distance. You would need a much more expensive (and larger) device or perhaps some approach using photogrammetry and proper lighting. To your first question, it spits out a point cloud that is then converted to a vertex-based mesh [1]. It's not in an easily exported format by default, but you could convert it into an OBJ (I'm sure someone already has an app or code snippet to do this).
