Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure representing a character string, wherein the characters are arranged relative to each other and formed, wherein offset surfaces of the characters are used, the offset surfaces are arranged so as to contact or overlap each other, a monolith is formed therefrom, and the monolith is formed. The present invention further relates to the provision of various devices and an application for implementing the method.

A method of producing a three-dimensional structure representing a character string having at least one character, comprising:
- creating an offset contour such that the offset contour has a predetermined distance (A) from the main contour of each character such that an offset area results between the main contour and the offset contour;
- creating an overall offset contour from the offset contours of the characters of the string in such a manner that the offset areas assigned to the characters touch and/or overlap;
- creating a monolith surface as a contiguous surface between the main contours of the characters and the overall offset contour;
- and
- extruding the monolith surface into a monolith volume to form a monolith that is readable by the volumes of characters cut from it and bounded by the overall offset contour.
