Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welding and additive manufacturing are key technologies in the modern manufacturing industry that increasingly require high-quality products, high-volume deposition, and high-temperature application. New types of materials and structures, such as functionally graded materials and lattice structures, can be fabricated by additive manufacturing, which is superior to traditional processes. Advanced welding processes and additive manufacturing, as well as their digital twins, will significantly contribute to manufacturing technology and the process development of materials.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest progress on the welding process and additive manufacturing development towards the fabrication of new structures, the innovation of functional materials, and the optimization of manufacturing processes. Full-length research articles on welding technology development, weld consumables, powder material, the additive manufacturing process, numerical modeling, and process monitoring and control, among other topics, are welcome. The world’s leading experts in the field of welding and additive manufacturing will be invited to submit their findings. Accepted papers will be available via open access for the whole research community in order to increase the visibility of the authors’ innovative research findings.

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 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 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.
