Alpha software can isotopically reconstruct a surface with boundaries (including a non-orientable one) from its sample points. The input is the co-ordinates of the point cloud in 3D and the output is a piecewise linear approximation of the surface which is made of Delaunay triangles with vertices in the input points only. The software works on the assumption that the sample is sufficiently dense and is obtained from a smooth surface. The algorithm of the software peels slivers greedily from an Alpha-complex of the sample of the surface. No other post-processing is necessary.
