Additive Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods have great potential for promoting transformative research in many fields across the vast spectrum of engineering and material science. Applications, such as tooling, production parts, biomedical devices and implants and aerospace components, all benefit from the flexibility that AM provides.

In this Special Issue of JMMP, current research results will be reported, which are focused on analytical and experimental work aimed at achieving the desired material properties and geometries of the final structure. This includes assessing the impact of process parameters and predicting optimized conditions. Submissions related to novel applications are also welcomed.

Contributions focused on metal additive manufacturing in any of the following topics are of particular interest:

• Materials, processes and machines
• Process monitoring, modeling and control
• Functionally graded materials
• Design for additive manufacturing
• Advanced simulation and multi-scale modeling for metal additive manufacturing
• Development of tailored materials for additive manufacturing

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.
