Shaped bodies having catalytic properties which can be obtained by a process comprising the steps: a) production of a shaped body by means of a powder-based rapid prototyping process, b) if appropriate, a heat treatment of the shaped body, c) if appropriate, application of at least one catalytically active component to the shaped body, d) if appropriate, a further heat treatment, where steps b), c) and/or d) can be carried out a number of times, are used as reactor internals in heterogeneously catalyzed chemical reactions.
