Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-precision machining technology is a highly precise manufacturing process that aims to achieve microscopic- and even atomic-level control of the workpiece surface. This technology finds application in the precision machining, micromachining, and ultra-micromachining of various materials, including optical components, semiconductor devices, and biomedical instruments. Ultra-precision machining encompasses methods such as grinding, polishing, chemical mechanical polishing, ion beam machining, and laser machining. These techniques allow for precise control over surface topography, dimensions, and surface quality by adjusting machining parameters, tool design, and process flow. Utilizing ultra-precision modeling and simulation facilitates accurate control of the machining process, error compensation, a greater understanding of material science, measurement techniques, on-machine metrology, and advanced functional applications. This Special Issue aims to gather technologies and their applications in ultra-precision machining.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
