An apparatus for manufacturing a ceramic device from tape ( 21 ) in a green state comprises a cylindrical rod ( 23 ) as a first forming element, a first clamping system ( 241 ) for fixing a first end of the tape ( 21 ) with respect to the cylindrical rod ( 23 ) and a first mechanism ( 20, 231 ) for winding the tape ( 21 ) around the cylindrical rod ( 23 ) to preform the tape ( 21 ). The apparatus further comprises a second forming element ( 33 ), a second clamping system ( 351, 352 ) for fixing at least one end of the pre-formed tape ( 21 ) with respect to the second forming element ( 33 ), and a second mechanism ( 331, 351 ) which winds the pre-formed tape ( 21 ) around the second forming element ( 33 ). |
