Hello,  
I will have some tomograph 3D scans (~5 gb of raw data) of cloud of points. I need to get a surface mesh, ideally watertight and conformal. I asked myself if it is something that it could be done using paraview, for example with deleurian 2D filter, but i am afraid that it will take too much time for large data sets like this. is paraview a correct tool for this kind of process? if yes, should I use deleurian 2D or other filters for this kind of workflow (input point cloud → output surface mesh)  
thanks in advance
