Development of Ceramics Additive Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising method used to fabricate ceramic parts with complex shapes. Currently, a wide variety of AM techniques can be used to fabricate ceramics, including photopolymerization (SLA/ DLP), direct ink writing (DIW), binder jetting (BJ), selective laser sintering (SLS), etc. Structural and functional ceramics can be fabricated using AM methods. These products have potential mechanical and biomedical applications, aerospace- and defence-related uses, and importance in other fields. Extensive research has been conducted on the AM of structural ceramics, including Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, etc. Recently, AM of functional ceramics, including piezoelectric ceramics, ferroelectric ceramics, thermoelectric ceramics, microwave dielectric ceramics, and so on, has been widely studied.

The primary aim of this Special Issue is to collect new research developments in structural and functional ceramics fabricated using AM methods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
