520			_aSlip 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.
