EDITED: Due to progress made, the problem is now different.
I want to be able to generate a mesh from point cloud (3D scanned), and then turn that into a solid, so that i can import it into CAD program such as fusion.
Thanks in advance.

It's not clear what you are asking for. Do you have some sample code where you have tried to do this? If so, please post the sample code. – Tom Johnson Dec 15 '18 at 21:23

ok so some context: I have made some progress in this matter so it'll be easier to explain. I have generated the point cloud, then turned that into a mesh in meshlab, then turned that into a solid in fusion 360, and in the CAM workspace set the stock to the solid that i created. now the surface of the object that is to be milled has the profile of the object that was scanned. what i hope to be able to do now is create a mesh and turn it into a solid in python, so that i can skip two steps. – B.W.

Is there a specific algorithm you are trying to implement in Python? Somethlng along the lines of "I have a point cloud where each point is x, y, z and I want to turn that into a mesh using algorithm X". Sorry, I'm not familiar with CNC so I don't know what you mean by "turn it into a solid". – Tom Johnson Dec 16 '18 at 13:27
