Abstract
A method for producing a decorative object from at least one extruded bead layer, including a step of passing a polymer-based composition into an extrusion die, the extrusion head controlled by a control element to follow a continuous trajectory intended to form the decorative object in one layer, the control element controlling a variation in the speed V of movement of the extrusion head on the basis of a variation in the trajectory of the extrusion head by an angle α and, at a distance D from a change in angle α, the continuous trajectory of the extrusion head complies with the following equation, for each of the layers forming the decorative object, where appropriate: D=a+(b×Vc)+(d×α) where a, b, c and d are constants.

A method for producing a decorative object from at least one layer of an extruded bead of a polymer-based composition, comprising a step of:
- passing a polymer-based composition into an extrusion die from a feed inlet of said extrusion die to an extrusion head from which an extruded bead of said composition comes out, the extrusion bead being deposited on a receiving support by gravitational effect;
- wherein the extrusion head is controlled by control means to follow a continuous trajectory intended to form said decorative object in one layer, said control means controlling a variation in a speed V of movement of the extrusion head on the basis of a variation in the trajectory of the extrusion head by an angle α;
- and
- wherein, at a distance D from a change in angle α, the continuous trajectory of the extrusion head complies with the following equation, for each of the layers forming the decorative object:
- D

- c=2.72±10%, and
- d=−0.08±10%,
- where D is expressed in millimeters, V is expressed in millimeters per second, and α is expressed in degrees.
