# Delaunay Volume Mesh

## About this Block

**What it does:** Creates a volume mesh forming a Delaunay tetrahedralization from a list of points. Delaunay tetrahedralization (also called Delaunay triangulation) is a particular mesh that tends to be more geometrically balanced (for example, avoiding skinny triangles).

**Commons uses:**

* Closing open lattice beams.

**Tips:**

* Doesn't take convex features into consideration, therefore, it is best to use with simple parts.
* Some input options for the Vertices input can be:
  * Lattice vertices
  * Mesh vertices
  * **Random Points in Body**
* Can close open lattice beams using this block, but you can't have any convex holes in the part.
