Abstract

A method is disclosed for producing a comb-like collimator element for a collimator arrangement. In at least one embodiment of the method, a collimator sheet extending in a first direction and made of an X-ray absorbing material is used as a support, onto which webs made of an X-ray absorbing material are formed in layers by way of a rapid prototyping technique and protrude transversely in respect of the support in a second direction.
