Special Issue Information
Additive manufacturing is an interesting and widespread topic, which has a remarkable range of processes, with different materials and properties. Advances in this field have grown and paved the way for the inclusion of these processes in the industry.
However, on many occasions, properties are not scientifically compared to the changes obtained in the material according to the parameters or post-processing applied to the parts. This can be studied in both metals and plastics and is attracting the interest of many researchers.
We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of the science, technology and application of materials used in additive manufacturing.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Real structure and properties of metal additive manufacturing
- Real structure and properties of polymeric additive manufacturing
- Surface modification
- Characterisation by spectroscopy and microscopy
- Measurements and characterizations via other advanced techniques
- Device manufacturing
- Material and device modelling
- Engineering applications

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
