A digital model repair method includes: providing a point cloud digital model of a target object as input to a generative network of a trained generative adversarial network ‘GAN’, the input point cloud comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by one or more causes, and generating, by the generative network of the GAN, an output point cloud in which the erroneous perturbation of some or all of the plurality of points has been reduced; where the generative network of the GAN was trained using input point clouds comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by said one or more causes, and a discriminator of the GAN was trained to distinguish point clouds comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by said one or more causes and point clouds substantially without such perturbations.
