Alpha shapes in 3D

Is there an "alpha shape" function in 3 dimensions in python, other than the CGAL python bindings?

Alternatively, is there a way to extend the example below into 3D?

2D example: draw a smooth polygon around data points in a scatter plot, in matplotlib

I'm currently calculating volume using this ConvexHull example, but for my purposes the volumes are inflated due to the "convex" constraint.

Thanks,

I wrote some code for finding alpha shape surface. I hope this helps.

from scipy.spatial import Delaunay
import numpy as np
from collections import defaultdict

def alpha_shape_3D(pos, alpha):
    """
    Compute the alpha shape (concave hull) of a set of 3D points.
    Parameters:
        pos - np.array of shape (n,3) points.
        alpha - alpha value.
    return
        outer surface vertex indices, edge indices, and triangle indices
    """

    tetra = Delaunay(pos)
    # Find radius of the circumsphere.
    # By definition, radius of the sphere fitting inside the tetrahedral needs 
    # to be smaller than alpha value
    # http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Circumsphere.html
    tetrapos = np.take(pos,tetra.vertices,axis=0)
    normsq = np.sum(tetrapos**2,axis=2)[:,:,None]
    ones = np.ones((tetrapos.shape[0],tetrapos.shape[1],1))
    a = np.linalg.det(np.concatenate((tetrapos,ones),axis=2))
    Dx = np.linalg.det(np.concatenate((normsq,tetrapos[:,:,[1,2]],ones),axis=2))
    Dy = -np.linalg.det(np.concatenate((normsq,tetrapos[:,:,[0,2]],ones),axis=2))
    Dz = np.linalg.det(np.concatenate((normsq,tetrapos[:,:,[0,1]],ones),axis=2))
    c = np.linalg.det(np.concatenate((normsq,tetrapos),axis=2))
    r = np.sqrt(Dx**2+Dy**2+Dz**2-4*a*c)/(2*np.abs(a))

    # Find tetrahedrals
    tetras = tetra.vertices[r<alpha,:]
    # triangles
    TriComb = np.array([(0, 1, 2), (0, 1, 3), (0, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3)])
    Triangles = tetras[:,TriComb].reshape(-1,3)
    Triangles = np.sort(Triangles,axis=1)
    # Remove triangles that occurs twice, because they are within shapes
    TrianglesDict = defaultdict(int)
    for tri in Triangles:TrianglesDict[tuple(tri)] += 1
    Triangles=np.array([tri for tri in TrianglesDict if TrianglesDict[tri] ==1])
    #edges
    EdgeComb=np.array([(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2)])
