N2  - Slip casting is a widely used ceramic manufacturing technique that involves 
pouring liquid clay (slip) into a porous mold, which absorbs the liquid and leaves a 
solid clay body. The mould plays a significant role in the slip casting process as it 
determines the shape and size of the final product. In this study, the effect of the number 
of cavities in the mould on the thickness of the cast product was investigated. Slip 
casting moulds with different one, two and four cavities were fabricated using Plaster 
of paris. The moulds were used to cast slip prepared from Pasaleng clay and Padsan 
River sand. The casting time was maintained at 15 minutes for each cast specimen, and 
the mould was allowed to dry under the sun for another cycle. Water absorption of the 
mould and thickness of the cast specimen were determined and compared using the 
different mould configurations. It was observed that the amount of water absorbed, and 
the resulting thickness of the cast specimen decreases with the number of times the 
mould was used. However, the number of cavities did not significantly affect the water 
absorption of the mould and the thickness of the cast specimen. It was the casting time 
and the casting rate that significantly changed the resulting thickness of the cast 
specimen. Moreover, the number of cavities in the mould including casting time 
achieved the desired thickness of the cast specimen
