Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on Metal Forming Processes is dedicated to publishing high-quality and original research in the field of manufacturing engineering.
Today, a very large variety of metal forming processes are used in modern industry. Many of these technologies, for the construction of aircrafts, automobiles, and other products, are derived from the latest discoveries in science. In the era of additive manufacturing techniques, metal forming processes are still the standard procedure at the industrial level. Furthermore, future metal forming processes promise to be even more complex to satisfy demands for higher productivity and flexibility, lower cost, and greater precision. This Special Issue provides a complete guide to modern metal forming processes, including both conventional and advanced processes (i.e., hybrid manufacturing technologies) by both experimental and numerical investigations.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to publish outstanding papers presenting cutting-edge advances in the field of metal forming and materials processing. Contributions on hybrid processes and/or hybrid materials, such as those related to multi-metal or composite-metal structure, as well as those related to sustainability and environmental issues in manufacturing, will have special relevance.
The main topics covered by this Special Issue are scientific contributions on the following metal forming topics:
- Advances and innovations in metal forming processes
- Flexible manufacturing processes
- Incremental forming processes
- Mechanical Fastening
- Extrusion
- Lightweight design
- Sustainable analysis of metal forming processes
- The metal forming operation in the Industry 4.0 era
- Design, modeling, and simulation of metal forming processes
The above list is not exhaustive and papers on other topics associated with advances in metal forming operation are also welcome.
It is our pleasure to invite professionals from industry, academic institutions, and research centers from around the world to submit their contributions to this Special Issue.

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.
