You are looking for offscreen rendering. I have sketched modifications to
your script that should do it:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
import tables
import numpy
from enthought.mayavi import mlab
mlab.options.offscreen = True
def run():
# Then generate points and triangles
# Then at the bottom I have
# Create script and add triangles
tmesh = mlab.triangular_mesh(points[:, 0], points[:, 1],
points[:, 2], triangles)
# Set the view
mlab.view(45, 15)
mlab.savefig("crabcav.png", size=(640,480))
if __name__ == '__main__':
run()
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You should also read

as to avoid having a window poping up, you may need to do more, depending
on your platform.
