If your CNC software will do it yes.

If you are using Mach3 there are two different wizards designed to do that.

"4th Axis Probemaster" and 4th Axis Digitizing Wizard"

I have not used them, because I do not have a probe.

I do not know what further software would be needed to turn the point cloud into a solid model but there will most probably be open source options.
