Laminate panel, method for manufacturing a laminate panel and press element to realize the method

A method for manufacturing a laminate panel, comprising the steps:

• where in a first step a press element is manufactured showing a surface relief, and
• in a second step a relief is formed in a surface of the laminate panel by the press element,
• wherein said surface relief of the press element is provided with protrusions, which during pressing form recesses in said surface of the laminate panel, said recesses imitating wood pores,
• wherein when manufacturing the press element, at least a number of said protrusions is made elongate and as such are formed substantially or essentially;
• wherein the method includes forming said at least a number of said protrusions by the step of a machining treatment with rotating cutting tools;
• wherein said press element is provided with a structured surface of more than one square meter;
• wherein said machining treatment with rotating cutting tools is a milling treatment, and in that a post-treatment is performed on the milled surface locally by a laser treatment;
• wherein said post-treatment is only performed on lower-situated regions which are located between said protrusions formed by said milling treatment, said post-treatment removing height differences between the protrusions along surfaces of the lower-situated regions.
