Casting of ceramic microcomponents is an interesting alternative to the molding of ceramic filled polymers, if a fast, flexible and inexpensive process is required. Although casting is less suited for mass production, it is a promising way for the production of small numbers of parts, e.g. for experimental prototypes. As conventional slip casting is unsuited for the shaping of microcomponents, particular casting methods, like slip pressing or centrifugal casting, have been developped
