How to organize random 3D point cloud data to a collection of 2D slices

Hello,

I am trying to convert a random 3D point cloud from a laser scanner to a series of 2D slices - made of points - running along one axis. To state it another way, I want to take the point cloud and turn it into a 2D polygon of points and stack those polygons together. Imagine stacking CD's on a spindle - similar to that.

I understand how to do it, but I was wondering if there was code already written to do this. Does anyone know?

Sounds like you may want a three-d delaunay triangulation:
