A manufacturing method of a honeycomb structure (300, 400) comprising: a forming step of a honeycomb formed body with non-fired electrodes where there is performed twice a non-fired electrode forming operation in which an electrode paste is attached to a plate including a printing screen, a side surface of a columnar ceramic honeycomb formed body, the side surface being a curved side surface, is brought into a pressed state by a squeegee via the printing screen of the plate, the ceramic honeycomb formed body including: partition walls to divide and form a plurality of cells which extend from one end surface to the other end surface and become through channels of a fluid; and an outer peripheral wall positioned in the outermost periphery of the body, in the state, the ceramic honeycomb formed body is rotated around a central axis and the plate is linearly moved along the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body synchronously with the rotation of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, and the squeegee allows the electrode paste attached to the plate to permeate the printing screen and coat the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, to form the pair of non-fired electrodes on the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, thereby preparing the honeycomb formed body with the non-fired electrodes; and a forming step of the honeycomb structure (300, 400) where the honeycomb formed body with the non-fired electrodes is fired, to obtain the honeycomb structure (300, 400) including the pair of electrodes on the side surface thereof; wherein a thickness of the printing screen of the plate is from 22 to 300 μm. a forming step of a honeycomb formed body with non-fired electrodes where there is performed twice a non-fired electrode forming operation in which an electrode paste is attached to a plate including a printing screen, a side surface of a columnar ceramic honeycomb formed body, the side surface being a curved side surface, is brought into a pressed state by a squeegee via the printing screen of the plate, the ceramic honeycomb formed body including: partition walls to divide and form a plurality of cells which extend from one end surface to the other end surface and become through channels of a fluid; and an outer peripheral wall positioned in the outermost periphery of the body, in the state, the ceramic honeycomb formed body is rotated around a central axis and the plate is linearly moved along the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body synchronously with the rotation of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, and the squeegee allows the electrode paste attached to the plate to permeate the printing screen and coat the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, to form the pair of non-fired electrodes on the side surface of the ceramic honeycomb formed body, thereby preparing the honeycomb formed body with the non-fired electrodes; and a forming step of the honeycomb structure (300, 400) where the honeycomb formed body with the non-fired electrodes is fired, to obtain the honeycomb structure (300, 400) including the pair of electrodes on the side surface thereof; wherein a thickness of the printing screen of the plate is from 22 to 300 μm.
