Method for storing real data relating to a body contour of a body

A method for storing real data of a real body contour (11) of a body (8), comprising the method steps:

• creating a model surface grid (6) with multiple grid points (7), said model surface grid (6) representing a model body contour (5), wherein the model surface grid (6) is created in a computer (3) based on CAD data of a virtual body (4), wherein at least individual partial surfaces (10) of the overall surface of the virtual body (4) are discretized in a grid generation, in particular an adaptive grid generation, so as to provide a different resolution of the model surface grid (6) in particular at different partial surfaces (10);
• providing the body (8) manufactured based on the model body contour (5) of the CAD data;
• determining real data of the manufactured body (8);
• creating a representation, in particular a real surface grid (13) of the real body contour (11) based on real data and subsequently adapting the model surface grid (6) of the model body contour (5) to the representation, in particular to the real surface grid (13), of the real body contour (11) and thereby creating a memory surface grid (15) of at least a part of the real body contour (11) by means of the computer (3);
• storing the memory surface grid (15) on a data carrier (19) for further processing of the data, wherein adapting the model surface grid (6) of the model surface contour (5) to the representation, in particular to the real surface grid (13), of the real body contour (11) is carried out by displacing individual grid points (7) of the model surface grid (6).
