Recent Advances in Optimization of Additive Manufacturing Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Pursuing maximum efficiency, precision, and tolerance control remains a central focus in developing manufacturing processes. The significant advancements achieved in recent years within additive manufacturing, along with the continuous evolution of technology that has expanded its capabilities and applications, have positioned AM as a transformative force in modern manufacturing, capable of meeting the demands of various industries while offering unprecedented design flexibility and efficiency.

A significant number of additive manufacturing (AM) optimization cases have benefited from the integration of advanced computing and equipment sensing strategies. This integration facilitates a more responsive design process, allowing for real-time adjustments based on feedback from the manufacturing environment. Data-driven approaches enable optimization methods that utilize historical operational data to inform decision-making in the manufacturing process.

This Special Issue aims to explore all aspects of optimization in AM to assist manufacturers in producing efficient parts that excel in their intended applications.

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-anonymized 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.
