    Point Cloud Conversions

    Does anyone have experience with a program that will convert a point cloud to a solid, or into a format that can be used to create a solid?

    This will give you a polygon mesh. http://www.paraform.com/ppdl/

    I don't think there is anything that will give you a solid from a point cloud.

    Do a google for AccuTrans 3D by MicroMouse Productions. It will do what you need.

    BTW - if you purchase STLWork they include the Accutrans software as part of the plan - at least that was the story a few months back. Haven't used it yet - interested to hear your results. Cheers - Jim
