A method for producing a plastics body with patterned layers for producing dental prostheses, wherein the method having the following steps: A) providing a first PMMA-based compound (6, 37, 67, 70, 80) and a second PMMA-based compound (12, 37, 67, 72, 82), wherein the first PMMA-based compound is uncured and has a first coloration and wherein the second PMMA-based compound is uncured and has a second coloration, wherein the second coloration of the second PMMA-based compound differs from the first coloration of the first PMMA-based compound; B) heating of a first patterned pressing surface (8, 28, 48, 58) to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C; C) pressing of the first PMMA-based compound with the heated first patterned pressing surface, wherein a patterned surface (10, 38, 68) of the first PMMA-based compound is obtained in this manner; D) subsequent detachment of the first pressing surface from the patterned first PMMA-based compound, wherein the patterned surface of the first PMMA-based compound is retained; and E) heating of the first patterned pressing surface to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C or heating of a second patterned pressing surface (8, 28, 48, 58) to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C; F) pressing of the second PMMA-based compound with the heated first patterned pressing surface or the heated second patterned pressing surface, wherein a patterned surface (14, 38, 68) of the second PMMA-based compound is obtained in this manner; G) subsequent detachment of the first pressing surface or the second pressing surface from the patterned second PMMA-based compound, wherein the patterned surface of the second PMMA-based compound is retained; H) subsequent laying of the patterned second PMMA-based compound on the patterned first PMMA-based compound, such that the patterned surface of the second PMMA-based compound is oriented toward the patterned surface of the first PMMA-based compound; and I) subsequent compression molding of the first patterned PMMA-based compound with the second patterned PMMA-based compound, such that a solid bond is created between the first PMMA-based compound and the second PMMA-based compound. A) providing a first PMMA-based compound (6, 37, 67, 70, 80) and a second PMMA-based compound (12, 37, 67, 72, 82), wherein the first PMMA-based compound is uncured and has a first coloration and wherein the second PMMA-based compound is uncured and has a second coloration, wherein the second coloration of the second PMMA-based compound differs from the first coloration of the first PMMA-based compound; B) heating of a first patterned pressing surface (8, 28, 48, 58) to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C; C) pressing of the first PMMA-based compound with the heated first patterned pressing surface, wherein a patterned surface (10, 38, 68) of the first PMMA-based compound is obtained in this manner; D) subsequent detachment of the first pressing surface from the patterned first PMMA-based compound, wherein the patterned surface of the first PMMA-based compound is retained; and E) heating of the first patterned pressing surface to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C or heating of a second patterned pressing surface (8, 28, 48, 58) to a temperature of between 90°C and 150°C; F) pressing of the second PMMA-based compound with the heated first patterned pressing surface or the heated second patterned pressing surface, wherein a patterned surface (14, 38, 68) of the second PMMA-based compound is obtained in this manner; G) subsequent detachment of the first pressing surface or the second pressing surface from the patterned second PMMA-based compound, wherein the patterned surface of the second PMMA-based compound is retained; H) subsequent laying of the patterned second PMMA-based compound on the patterned first PMMA-based compound, such that the patterned surface of the second PMMA-based compound is oriented toward the patterned surface of the first PMMA-based compound; and I) subsequent compression molding of the first patterned PMMA-based compound with the second patterned PMMA-based compound, such that a solid bond is created between the first PMMA-based compound and the second PMMA-based compound.
