A method for producing a three-dimensional shaped object, wherein an extrusion material is applied to a printing surface by means of a printhead in a plurality of layers arranged one above the other along a z-axis, and relative movements in an x-axis and/or a y-axis of an x,y-axis plane extending perpendicularly to the z-axis are performed between the printhead and the printing surface during application, wherein the printhead has, on an output side facing the printing surface, at least one linearly extended aperture row with two or more extrusion apertures for extruding the extrusion material, and the printhead is arranged with respect to the aperture row at a setting angle (α) in the x,y-axis plane, comprising the steps of: A) performing a relative movement with a first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through at least two of the extrusion apertures of the aperture row, B) performing a relative movement with the first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a second movement direction deviating from the first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through the at least two extrusion apertures from step A), characterized in that the relative movement in step A) transitions directly into the relative movement in step B), wherein in step B) the extrusion of the extrusion material per time through at least one of the at least two extrusion apertures in the second direction of movement is changed, so that with the at least one of the at least two extrusion apertures a wider or narrower material swath of the extrusion material is applied to the printing surface and/or one of the layers arranged thereon than in the first movement direction in step A), and the extrusion apertures are set to a different extrusion of the extrusion material per time, so that they produce different material swath widths of the extrusion material from one another. wherein the printhead has, on an output side facing the printing surface, at least one linearly extended aperture row with two or more extrusion apertures for extruding the extrusion material, and the printhead is arranged with respect to the aperture row at a setting angle (α) in the x,y-axis plane, comprising the steps of: A) performing a relative movement with a first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through at least two of the extrusion apertures of the aperture row, B) performing a relative movement with the first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a second movement direction deviating from the first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through the at least two extrusion apertures from step A), A) performing a relative movement with a first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through at least two of the extrusion apertures of the aperture row, B) performing a relative movement with the first setting angle (α) of the printhead in a second movement direction deviating from the first movement direction while simultaneously extruding the extrusion material through the at least two extrusion apertures from step A), characterized in that the relative movement in step A) transitions directly into the relative movement in step B), wherein in step B) the extrusion of the extrusion material per time through at least one of the at least two extrusion apertures in the second direction of movement is changed, so that with the at least one of the at least two extrusion apertures a wider or narrower material swath of the extrusion material is applied to the printing surface and/or one of the layers arranged thereon than in the first movement direction in step A), and the extrusion apertures are set to a different extrusion of the extrusion material per time, so that they produce different material swath widths of the extrusion material from one another.
