The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a decorative panel, comprising the following method steps: a) applying a decorative layer to a substrate, b) optionally applying an intermediate layer to the decorative layer, c) applying a cover layer to the decorative layer or the intermediate layer, and d) structuring at least one layer to be structured, said layer to be structured being selected from the decorative layer, the intermediate layer and the cover layer, characterised in that method step d) comprises the following method steps: d1) generating a laser beam; d2) dividing the laser beam into a matrix of a plurality of sub-beams; d3) guiding the matrix of sub-beams into a modulator for selective inactivation of individual sub-beams; d4) guiding the matrix of sub-beams from the modulator into an optical scanner, the matrix of sub-beams downstream of the modulator comprising all the sub-beams guided into the modulator or a reduced number of sub-beams; and d5) guiding the matrix of sub-beams from the scanner onto the layer to be structured; d6) the layer to be structured being negatively structured under the action of the sub-beams in order to generate a three-dimensional structure.
