Have you tried Delcam's CopyCAD (www.delcam.com). This product has a wizard
which automatically creates triangle models from point clouds. It can work
with grid data, touch trigger scanline data (automatically compensates for
probe diameter) and unordered / multiple patch point cloud data sets. You
can export to a variet of formats including STL (binary and ascii) & VRML2.0
(virtual reality).
If you need some more help please contact our local agent listed below.

Subject: XYZ to STL
All:
A fellow student needs to generate an STL file of an
aerospace nozzle. She can generate XYZ point data of
the desired shape.
What economical software packages can convert XYZ
point data into an STL file? I know Surfacer can do
it, but the cost is prohibitive.
I told her another alternative was to write a program
to do it, but I'm not sure how hard that would be.
Thanks,
=====
