A quick google threw up an open source tool called MeshLab at 
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/. They have a wiki with some How-To's that 
may get you started - Not quite a tutorial, but it does indicate how to 
approach certain problems using available tools. Reading the feature list 
should give you an idea of the wide range of things you'd need to read up on 
if you wish to start develop your own methods and techniques for doing it.
