A measured object mounting tool 2 for producing a three-dimensional shape
data comprises a placing part 2b at the lower face of a cylindrical part
2a, an inclined part 2c at a boundary between the side face and the upper
face of the cylindrical part 2a, and a pillar part 2d at the upper face
of the cylindrical part 2a, where the pillar part 2d has a mounting part
2e at the upper face thereof, a three-dimensional coordinate other than
the engaging portion 3a of a model 3 is produced by engaging the model of
the dental prosthesis with the mounting part 2e of the tool 2 on a
placing table 1; detecting a position where a received light amount is
remarkably decreased to by a laser sensor detect a lower end of the
inclined part 2c; and thereby calculating an upper end of the engaging
portion 3a.
