Abstract: An object to be measured is measured with marks formed on a platen surface with the object to be measured mounted thereon. At least three or more marks are formed on the platen surface. The marks are formed so as to uniquely determine a combination of sizes of at least three marks arbitrarily selected and intervals between the marks. Coordinate values representing three-dimensional shapes at first and second portions of the object are converted respectively to coordinate values based upon a reference coordinate system identified by the marks. The coordinate values determined after the conversion are synthesized, so that data on the entire three-dimensional shape of the object is obtained.

Abstract: The bending device 25 comprises a positioning jig 10 having a clearance opening 8 formed therein for passing an elongate material 1, fixed to a device body, and a movable bending jig 28 having a clearance opening 30 formed therein for passing the material 1, provided at a position to which the material 1 is supplied from the positioning jig 10. The bending jig 28 is attached to a dome portion 26 which is part of a rotating member 24 rotated along a spherical surface having the center on the material 1 passing through the positioning jig 10. As the rotating member 24 rotates along the spherical surface, the bending jig 28 moves along the spherical surface. As a result, the material 1 is bent by being supplied with its supply direction changed from the positioning jig 10.
