Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a panel, in particular a furniture or floor panel, wherein a decor, preferably a wood imitating decor, is applied to at least one surface of a plate-shaped substrate, and wherein the substrate or the decor is provided with an areal, three-dimensional structure. The method is substantially characterised in that to produce the structure, liquid and/or powdery application material is applied in a single layer or multiple layers to the substrate or the decor, in that the application material applied is solidified in regions by means of at least one digitally controllable device, and in that the device is controlled using structural data present in digital form.
