Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second issue of “Machine Tools, Advanced Manufacturing and Precision Manufacturing”; the first issue can be found at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/P7NC7924OX.
As modern industries continue to evolve, the fields of machine tools, advanced manufacturing, and precision manufacturing have gained paramount importance in driving innovation, efficiency, and quality across various sectors. The manufacturing domain is encountering numerous unforeseen challenges due to stringent quality demands, miniaturization, the emergence of new materials, sustainability concerns, mass customization, and automation requirements. Addressing these challenges is now more relevant than ever. In this context, this Special Issue titled “Machine Tools, Advanced Manufacturing and Precision Manufacturing, 2nd Edition” aims to explore cutting-edge research, technological advancements, and interdisciplinary approaches that drive the manufacturing domain forward.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform that fosters knowledge exchange and collaboration among experts from academia and industry by welcoming submissions that delve into topics such as novel machining techniques, micro–nano manufacturing, intelligent automation, precision measurement and control, digital twin technologies, Industry 4.0 applications, and sustainable manufacturing practices. Researchers, academics, and practitioners are encouraged to contribute original research articles, reviews, case studies, and technical notes on recent developments, challenges, and future trends in this domain.
