    point cloud to toolpath

    Hi,

    I've designed a wind turbine blade with some aerodynamics code I wrote in Matlab, and saved the blade geometry as .txt with format:

    x1 y1 z1
    x2 y2 z2
    ... ... ...
    xn yn zn


    I can open this in mastercam and it looks like a nice point cloud.

    This is great, but now I need to turn the point cloud into a solid or a surface before I can make machine toolpaths.

    What can I do to turn my point cloud into something machinable?
