I am capturing an object from three axes i.e. from top view, front view and side view. how can I generate 3D model using outlines of those views.

ya but that was only from two sides. I have three sides. I can understand that it is not possible to generate exact shape but can I generate nearby shape or simple shapes like a bottle?

Calibrate the views. Then you can use stereo analysis techniques to find distances to various components, after which you can start putting the surface together.

You can get a volume by projecting along each axis. It will be very crude. To get a true and accurate 3-D shape, you'd have to have many, many more angles of projection. And that is essentially what CT does. By the way, the math behind CT earned its discoverers (Cormack and Hounsfield) the Nobel Prize: https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1979/

Just use three triple nested for loops.
Attach simple, small demo data if you still can't figure it out.
