Additive Manufacturing Technologies
A section of Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417).
Section Information
Over the past 40 years, Additive Manufacturing has grown to be used in an ever-growing number of application areas. Research on the 3D theme meets the scientific criteria of each discipline chosen to contribute to its development. In principle, two forms of research could exist, depending on their purpose – fundamental research for broadening and deepening our understanding, and applied research to find a solution to a practical problem and propose a robust epistemological framework for the research. The ”Additive Manufacturing Technologies” Section is open to receive high-quality papers on new technologies, processes, methods, materials, systems, and applications in the field of additive manufacturing.
