Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of at least one multilayer electromechanical transducer (44), comprising provision of at least one dielectric elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46), application of at least one electrode layer (12, 18, 20, 24, 26, 28, 42) to at least one first part (16.1, 16.4, 22.1) of the elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46) in an application step, arrangement of the elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46) on a receptor area (4) of a folding apparatus (2), where the folding apparatus (2) has a first plate (2.1) and a second plate (2.2), fixing of the elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46) on the receptor area (4), and folding of the first part (16.1, 16.4, 22.1) of the elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46) onto another part (16.2, 16.3, 22.3) of the elastomer foil (10, 16, 22, 30, 46) in a folding step via folding of the first plate (2.1) in relation to the second plate (2.2) in such a way that the electrode layer (12, 18, 20, 24, 26, 28, 42) is arranged between the first part (16.
