Method for printing a three-dimensional structure comprising the following steps: - Providing structural parameters defining the shape of the three-dimensional structure in a first step; - Converting the structural parameters into an intensity image having multiple pixels which are arranged in a two-dimensional pattern and which comprises at least different intensities in a second step, wherein the structural parameters are converted into a colored intensity image having multiple pixels which comprises different colors in the second step, wherein the structural parameters are converted into the colored intensity image in the second step in such a manner that each pixel represents a certain position in an orthogonal projection (1") of the three-dimensional structure, wherein the color of each pixel represents geometrical, optical and/or visual characteristics of the three-dimensional structure at this position, wherein the intensity of each pixel represents the height of the three-dimensional structure at this position; - Controlling the print head in dependency of the intensity image in order to print the three-dimensional structure in a third step, - wherein the print head moves to a certain position and deposits at least one droplet of printing material when processing a certain pixel, - wherein the number of droplets and/or the amount of printing material deposited at the certain position by the print head is chosen in dependency of the intensity of the corresponding pixel. - Providing structural parameters defining the shape of the three-dimensional structure in a first step; - Converting the structural parameters into an intensity image having multiple pixels which are arranged in a two-dimensional pattern and which comprises at least different intensities in a second step, wherein the structural parameters are converted into a colored intensity image having multiple pixels which comprises different colors in the second step, wherein the structural parameters are converted into the colored intensity image in the second step in such a manner that each pixel represents a certain position in an orthogonal projection (1") of the three-dimensional structure, wherein the color of each pixel represents geometrical, optical and/or visual characteristics of the three-dimensional structure at this position, wherein the intensity of each pixel represents the height of the three-dimensional structure at this position; - Controlling the print head in dependency of the intensity image in order to print the three-dimensional structure in a third step, - wherein the print head moves to a certain position and deposits at least one droplet of printing material when processing a certain pixel, - wherein the number of droplets and/or the amount of printing material deposited at the certain position by the print head is chosen in dependency of the intensity of the corresponding pixel. - wherein the print head moves to a certain position and deposits at least one droplet of printing material when processing a certain pixel, - wherein the number of droplets and/or the amount of printing material deposited at the certain position by the print head is chosen in dependency of the intensity of the corresponding pixel.
