Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue focusing on digital twinning for manufacturing. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, applications, and innovations in digital twin technology and modeling within the realm of advanced manufacturing processes and systems.
Scope and Topics:
Digital twin technology has emerged as a transformative approach in the manufacturing sector, enabling the real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of manufacturing processes and systems. This Special Issue seeks to gather high-quality research papers that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Development and implementation of digital twin simulation models for manufacturing processes and for manufacturing systems and production lines;
- Integration of digital twins with IoT, AI, and big data analytics;
- Case studies and applications of digital twins in smart factories;
- Predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring using digital twins;
- Enhancing product lifecycle management through digital twin technology;
- Challenges and future directions in digital twinning for manufacturing.
Submission Guidelines:
Authors are invited to submit original research articles, review papers, and case studies. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of published content. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the journal’s guidelines and submitted through the online submission system.

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 1800 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.
