An object (3) is adhesively attached to an object carrier (15) in a stereolithographic process. The object (3) is formed by the curing of a photosensitive substance (5) by curing radiation, at least in one region of the object carrier (15). Secondary radiation is radiated to the object carrier (15) in a direction that is different from the direction of the curing radiation in order to adhesively attach the object (3). The secondary radiation is supplied laterally to the generally planar, radiation-permeable object carrier (15) and is deflected within the object carrier (15).
