    Abstract: A method of forming layers of a solid oxide fuel cell. The method begins by pumping a volume of a slip form a slip reservoir to a separator reservoir. A separator and a blade are provided upon a carrier to form the separator reservoir with a gap formed between the blade and the carrier. The carrier is operated so that the carrier is transported from the separator to the blade. A layer of slip is then deposited from the separator reservoir onto the carrier. The layer of slip is then dried on the carrier.
