Abstract: A method for forming an image of an object, a computer program product, and an image forming system for carrying out the method are provided. In the method, data about the object are provided by a first data processing device, and a first data record with first data is provided. The first data record is loaded from the first data processing device into a second data processing device. A second data record is loaded from a data memory into the second data processing device in dependence on the first data record loaded into the second data processing device. A processing data record is generated or detected based on the second data record. A two-dimensional output image of the object is generated by processing the data about the object with the processing data record, the output image having a predeterminable number of output image pixels.
