A method for locally gripping and holding a thin, flexible panel having a complex, nondevelopable shape. The method includes placing a first surface of the panel against a three-point support system without deforming the surface; applying a plurality of suction cups which are mobile with respect to a reference support onto the surface in an area of the surface to be supported; locking each suction cup in a gripping position with respect to the support without locally deforming the surface of the panel. A device for localized gripping and holding of a thin, flexible panel having a complex, nondevelopable shape is also disclosed.
