I followed tose examples: http://openglsamples.sourceforge.net/projects/index.php/blog/index/

and I loaded a 3D model (.ply file format) but I want now to triangulate it with CGAL triangulation algorithm

but I couldn't. Is there any way to do it?

You need to provide a little more information. In what format is the
model you load? (OpenGL does not support any object file format so
you are probably using some library)

After that you will probably need to convert your model to a data
structure suitable for CGAL Triangulation_3 and back to something your
renderer understands.
