Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser material processing is increasingly used in industry due to multiple advantages in supporting or replacing conventional processing technologies. Modern equipment and simulation methods help to increase our understanding of laser beam processes, which is highly desired to guarantee high-quality production and products.
The Special Issue of Applied Sciences on “Latest Advances in laser-based Manufacturing Technologies” welcomes all kinds of novel articles that help to explain the complex phenomena occurring during laser–material interaction and material behavior. Addressed topics are (but are not limited to):
- Fundamentals of laser–material interaction;
- Process design;
- Spatial and temporal beam shaping;
- Process monitoring and control;
- Experimental observation of process dynamics and defect formation;
- Material properties;
- Process simulations;
- Quality assurance.
The Special Issue shall be a platform to share recent research in laser processing. The journal will publish all types of papers: communications, articles, and reviews. The standards for submissions are of high quality, impact, and novelty. The papers must be interesting for a wide audience in all fields of science and technology.
Dr. Jörg Volpp
Guest Editor
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.
