10th Anniversary of Machines—Feature Papers in Advanced Manufacturing
This special issue belongs to the section “Advanced Manufacturing“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To celebrate the 10th year of Machines, we plan to launch this anniversary Special Issue on Advanced Manufacturing, featuring insight into advanced machines, machining systems, and next generation and/or future machines/systems in the context of advanced manufacturing.
Therefore, the aim of collating this Special Issue is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to review the state-of-the-art in advanced manufacturing, advanced machines and machining systems, the underlying manufacturing science and fundamentals, and to identify possible directions for future R&D and applications. Original contributions should discuss the innovative development and application of advanced manufacturing. Emphasis will be on the knowledge, innovation, and insights accumulated over the last two decades or so, and also on opportunities and implications for the future of the 21st century. Possible topics within this scope include, but are not limited to, the keyworded list below.
Prof. Dr. Kai Cheng
Prof. Dr. Hamid Reza Karimi
Prof. Dr. Mark J. Jackson
