A process and a device are proposed for manufacturing sensors, particularly those intended for the determination of pressure forces. In thick-film technology, initially at least one insulating layer (14) is produced on a pressure support (10), whereupon a pressure-sensitive resistance layer (12) and finally conductor paths (13) are applied. In a pressing tool (20-22), the layer arrangement (11-14) is then compressed together with a plastic pressure substance (15). Finally, the pressure support (10) is removed from the pressed article.
