Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Design, simulation, and manufacturing are integral stages of a machine's production. Design engineering focuses on the creative process of developing innovative systems and units, ensuring process intensification, productivity, flexibility, and efficiency. The importance of this stage implies modern approaches in the CAx technologies, ensuring digitalization of the design process, which is an integral part of Industry 4.0. This Special Issue welcomes articles on innovative solutions in designing machine tools, mechatronic devices, robotic systems, flexible manufacturing systems, transport machines and systems, reconfigurable machines, fixture and tooling design, rotary machines and drive units, etc. Verification of the created products is mandatory before the manufacturing stage. The developed design should be checked in a virtual environment based on the operating conditions. For this purpose, numerical simulation and experimental studies can be applied. The reliability of the virtual and experimental studies should be justified in terms of quality requirements. The above-mentioned processes make it possible to proceed to the manufacturing stage. The production processes using advanced manufacturing technologies and intelligent systems could be implemented to overcome the challenges of Industry 4.0, considering sustainable development goals in machining processes, additive manufacturing technologies, etc.

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. Machines 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 2400 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.
