Process for producing shaped bodies of catalysts, catalyst supports or adsorbents by microextrusion in which a pasty extrusion composition of a shaped body precursor material is extruded through a movable microextrusion nozzle and through movement of the microextrusion nozzle a shaped body precursor is constructed in layerwise fashion and the shaped body precursor is subsequently subjected to a thermal treatment, wherein for construction of each shaped body precursor the pasty extrusion composition is simultaneously extruded through a plurality of microextrusion nozzles.
