Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current additive manufacturing (AM) processes provide pieces of similar mechanical characteristics to those obtained by so-called conventional manufacturing processes. These processes, which encompass vat photopolymerization, material jetting, material extrusion, binder jetting, powder-bed fusion, sheet lamination, and directed energy deposition, can generate metal, polymer, ceramic or multi-material parts. However, while some technologies obtain excellent results when mechanical properties are evaluated, others have a considerable margin for improvement.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to gather together papers investigating AM's improvements in the mechanical properties, focusing on metals, ceramics, and polymers using fused fabrication filament (FFF) and vat photopolymerization. In addition, we welcome other numerical, analytical, and experimental works about process parameters influencing 3D-printing issues, dimensional errors, roughness surface, energy efficiency, and sustainability.

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.
