The disclosed method relates to the manufacture of a solid product such as a ceramic comprising a product such as a ceramic-metal composite. The method includes forming a mixture of structural material and a binder and depositing the mixture on a surface to create a mixture layer. The active fluid is then applied to one or more selected areas of the layer to bond the binder to the structural material to obtain a shape pattern. These steps are repeated to produce a porous white body, which is heat treated to obtain a porous green body preform having a porosity of 30% to 70%. The green body is then impregnated with a molten material such as molten metal. If the structural material is SiC, Si molten metal is used to create a SiC-Si composite. |
