CGAL users discussion list

["Sebastien Loriot (GeometryFactory)" <>]

The only algorithm we have for now that construct a surface mesh out of
input point is the advancing front surface reconstruction algorithm:

https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction/index.html#Chapter_Advancing_Front_Surface_Reconstruction

Note that there are no guarantee that the output will be closed and some
post processing might be needed, like for example:

https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Polygon_mesh_processing/group__hole__filling__grp.html#ga4aacaa46c800a53ca0a0e5fd518a7b20
