Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing ceramic and/or metallic components in which a support structure surrounding at least one free space is formed using a polymer and in which at least one free space is filled in at least one predefinable portion with a plastically deformable or liquid mixture of least one metal powder or ceramic powder and at least one organic binder. In this respect, the mixture contacts the wall of the structure at least in part. Subsequently, in a first thermal treatment, the mixture is transformed into a state having a sufficient strength for maintaining its geometrical shape and a temperature is observed in so doing at which the polymer forming the support structure remains stable in shape. Subsequently, in a second thermal treatment, the temperature is increased and in so doing the polymer forming the support structure is completely decomposed and the metal powder and/or ceramic powder is/are sintered.
