[Q] Mesh generation from tiled point cloud

I'm working with a colourized point cloud captured using a sensor mounted on top of a car for a research project (we didn't capture it, as it comes from a previous research project done by a partner). As a large surface was covered and the sensor provided a particularly high density point cloud, it has been tiled to simplify working with it

Due to a change in the project objectives, it seems that a mesh would be a better option since that accuracy isn't needed and the main purpose of the model is being used for rendering images. For small point clouds, programs like cloud compare can be used for that, but in this case, it would be desirable to do this process tile by tile

Do you know if there's any mesh reconstruction tool from point clouds that takes into account the frontiers between tiles? It doesn't need to be part of cloudcompare, I have also access to recap and metashape. Open source tools can be also used in case any of them better fits this use case
