Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
3D printing technology has dramatically changed manufacturing. Any model in an STL format can be printed out as a real model with a 3D printer. The manufacturability of 3D printing can lead to significant advances in biomedical engineering, with applications including patient-specific anatomy models, surgical guides, prostheses, spare parts for medical devices, teaching aids, bio-innovation, and even cell culture. Many such applications are already utilized in routine clinical practices.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to advances in 3D printing technology for biomedical engineering. Subjects discussed in this Special Issue will focus on 3D-related methods, technologies, innovations, or applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
