Method for manufacturing a chamfered edge and plate shaped object provided with such a chamfered edge Abstract A method is provided for manufacturing a chamfered edge with depth (d) along at least one edge (5) of an upper surface of a plate shaped object, wherein at least an up per layer (1) of said plate shaped object comprises a thermoplastic (or similar) material (10). The method comprises the steps of heating the plate shaped object near to said edge (5); engaging the respective edge (5) of said upper surface with pressure means (9) for forming said chamfered edge by locally displacing material (10) of the upper layer (5') in a downward direction while displacing a substantially corresponding amount of material (10) of the object in a substantially sideward direction outward of the original boundaries of the object; and removing the amount of material (10') which has been displaced out ward of the original boundaries of the object. Further a plate shaped object with an upper surface provided with a chamfered edge along at least one of the edges of said upper sur face is provided.
