Disclosed is a method for the production of a bristle structure on a carrier of any particular type by means of a form tool having channels which are used to form the bristles and which extend from a forming wall. A forming material forming said bristles is inserted under pressure into the channels, preferably by means of injection moulding. The carrier is thus placed either indirectly or directly adjacent to the forming wall with the channels such that the free sections of the channels are fully covered and whereupon the forming material is applied to the carrier with a forming pressure (injection pressure) such that the carrier is shot through in the region of the free section of the channels and the carrier material is displaced, whereupon the channels are finally filled by the forming material.
