Next-Generation 3D Bioprinting and Additive Manufacturing: From Digital Design to Functional Biomimetic Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “Biomimetic Design, Constructions and Devices“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the next generation of additive manufacturing technologies, focusing on the full workflow from digital design to the realization of functional systems. Particular attention will be given to innovations in 3D printing and bioprinting that enable the fabrication of complex, bioinspired structures and materials. We request papers addressing advances in printable biomaterials, design methodologies, multi-material integration, and functional characterization. This Special Issue will bridge the gap between conceptual modeling and real-world applications in biomedical engineering, soft robotics, and smart devices.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
