A method for storing real data of a real body contour of a body, comprising the method steps: - creating a model surface grid with multiple grid points, said model surface grid representing a model body contour, wherein the model surface grid is created in a computer based on CAD data of a virtual body, wherein at least individual partial surfaces of the overall surface of the virtual body are discretized in a grid generation, in particular an adaptive grid generation, so as to provide a different resolution of the model surface grid in particular at different partial surfaces; - providing the body manufactured based on the model body contour of the CAD data; - determining real data of the manufactured body, wherein the real data of the manufactured body is determined by measuring the manufactured body in a measuring operation by means of a measuring means; - creating a representation, in particular a real surface grid of the real body contour based on real data and subsequently adapting the model surface grid of the model body contour to the representation, in particular to the real surface grid, of the real body contour and thereby creating a memory surface grid of at least a part of the real body contour by means of the computer; - storing the memory surface grid on a data carrier for further processing of the data, wherein adapting the model surface grid of the model surface contour to the representation, in particular to the real surface grid, of the real body contour is carried out by displacing individual grid points of the model surface grid, characterized in that during the measuring operation, the model surface grid of the model body contour is directly adapted to the measuring data of the real body contour by displacing individual grid points of the model surface grid to the respectively measured position of the real body contour and, thereby, a memory surface grid of the real body contour is generated by means of the computer. - creating a model surface grid with multiple grid points, said model surface grid representing a model body contour, wherein the model surface grid is created in a computer based on CAD data of a virtual body, wherein at least individual partial surfaces of the overall surface of the virtual body are discretized in a grid generation, in particular an adaptive grid generation, so as to provide a different resolution of the model surface grid in particular at different partial surfaces; - providing the body manufactured based on the model body contour of the CAD data; - determining real data of the manufactured body, wherein the real data of the manufactured body is determined by measuring the manufactured body in a measuring operation by means of a measuring means; - creating a representation, in particular a real surface grid of the real body contour based on real data and subsequently adapting the model surface grid of the model body contour to the representation, in particular to the real surface grid, of the real body contour and thereby creating a memory surface grid of at least a part of the real body contour by means of the computer; - storing the memory surface grid on a data carrier for further processing of the data,
