Hi,
we don't have free code to create quadrangular meshes from point cloud data.
But in the staging branch is a plugin for creating triangular meshes from point clouds. It's based on the code of Michael Kazhdan and Matthew Bolitho (2006). You can get the automatic build from this branch at: http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/Windows/Staging/ http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/Mac/Staging/
Additionally we have closed source implementations for converting triangular meshes into quad meshes. http://www.graphics.rwth-aachen.de/media/papers/bommes_zimmer_2009_siggraph_...
It should be possible to construct a pipeline from points to quad meshes based on that.
Best, Jan Möbius

Is there a way your software can create a quadrangular mesh on an existing point cloud? We have a client who is looking for such a mesh to bring into their finite element analysis software
Thanks
