Sorry not my strong point but a few of the members have some experience so hopefully one of them will be along to give you done good advice.
Which stocks are you looking to build?

Rather than edit the above, I'll add this as it might be of wider usefulness. It isn't [currently] possible to scan a set of 2D drawings showing different views of an object and expect a computer to reconcile these and output an accurate 3D image [or more accurately, a 3D solid object file with wall thickness]. It is possible to do this reconcilliation very easily if you scan a 3D object from different angles and then combine the scans into a single 3D object file. Possibly that is where the belief that producing 3D objects from 2D *.jpg files being easy arises.
Turning a series of 2D images into a 3D model normally involves inputting the measurements by hand [or via digitiser] into a 3D software package [such as Inventor, Blender, Space Claim, Catia, Parasolid, Solidworks] and then carring out extrude/revolve/trim & merge/loft etc., actions on the 2D sketches and any zero thickness surfaces and /or solids generated. In other words, it is a highly time consuming process requiring [to some extent] a knowledge of the prototype as well as experience of the software.
Having said all that, the results can be brilliant!
