Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing includes a selection of papers on this very interesting topic of “Recent Advances in 3D Printing Technologies in Bioengineering” from scientists across the globe, as well as extended versions of selected papers presented at the 29th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB 2024) taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 30th June to 3rd July 2024 (https://esbiomech2024.org/), which brings together experts from industry and research from all over the world.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), has emerged as an attractive state-of-the-art tool for precisely fabricating functional materials with complex geometries and has demonstrated tremendous potential in bioengineering. This Special Issue will focus on original research papers and review articles that deal with cutting-edge technologies in various 3D-printing methods, including future strategies for developing materials and 3D-printed devices.
Contributors from around the world can submit their manuscripts for consideration as normal.
Participants of ESB 2024 can approach/contact the three editors of this Special Issue who are handling the selection of high-quality works from the conference. These papers will be submitted as extended full versions of their original papers (50% expansion of the contents of the conference paper).
Suitable topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Three-dimensional printing of models, prototypes, and tools for surgical planning;
- Three-dimensional-printed sensor-related medical devices;
- Three-dimensional printing of pharmaceutical and drug delivery devices;
- Various applications in the dentistry field using 3D printing;
- Human tissue with 3D bioprinting and personalized tissue scaffolds using advanced biomaterials;
- Development and optimization of 3D-printing processes, including 4D printing.

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.
