Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
These days, additive manufacturing processes have a large representation in current research and in the focus of industrial applications. In addition to process and geometric aspects, material properties are also increasingly in focus, as well as modern materials, such as titanium aluminides, high entropy alloys and nickel base superalloys are more and more qualified for additive manufacturing.
The more the knowledge about additive manufacturing increases, the more these processes are used in industrial manufacturing. Here, they are used in many industries, from aviation to energy technology, and ensure the continuous further development of technical equipment with appropriate post-processing, such as milling or heat treatment.
In order to take this fact into account, a Special Issue, which is open to a wide range of topics, is the adequate approach, will provide a good overview of the current state of research, and is intended to provide an overview of the latest research results and industrial applications, both across applications and materials.
Possible topics are listed below.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Progress in processes for metal additive manufacturing;
- Arc-based ( WAAM)
- Beam-based (powderbed, electron/laser powder/wire)
- Generation path planning
- Process surveillance and control
- Surveillance of temperature
- Surveillance of geometry
- Indirect surveillance
- Microstructural propagation of additively manufactured materials
- Multi-material-systems and -design for metal additive manufacturing
- Properties of additive manufactured materials;
- Static, fatigue, crash, wear
- Additional post-processing
- Machining
- Heat-treatment
- Impact treatment
- Modelling for additive manufacturing
- Modelling of weldability
- Modelling of phase transformation
- Modelling of heat-transfer
- Industrial applications and service life properties
Please stick to metal applications and research.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
