Abstract
The method and device are used for at least regional determination of an outer contour of a body. For this purpose, a contour element is used which can be formed at least regionally according to an outer contour of the body. The shape of the contour element in a state formed by the body is stored by modifying at least one material property of the contour element. After elastic removal of the contour element from the body, another manipulation of the contour element is carried out in such a way that the shape of the contour element in the state formed by the body is determined by evaluating the modified material property.

Method for at least regional determination of an outer contour of a body, in which a contour element, which at least regionally surrounds the body, is elastically formed according to an outer contour of the body, wherein the shape of the contour element (1) in the state formed according to the outer contour of the body (2) is stored by modifying at least one material property of the contour element (1) and, after elastic removal of the contour element (1) from the body (2), another manipulation of the contour element (1) is carried out in such a way that the shape of the contour element (1) in the state formed by the body (2) is determined by evaluating the modified material property.
Device for at least regional determination of an outer contour of a body, which has at least one formable contour element, wherein the contour element (1) has at least one material property that stores a forming state, that the contour element (1) has elastic material properties at least after the storage of the forming state, and that the stored forming state can be determined by measurement techniques.
