Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) was considered a rapid prototyping tool when the first machines were developed in the 1980s. Layer-by-layer creation of the part and usability of many materials allow the creation of extremely complex structures with customized properties. Additive manufacturing has become an alternative production method for space applications, small scale production, creation of assembled products, sensing structures and many applications.
The objective of this Special Issue is to collect recent studies that has been transforming additive manufacturing into a powerful production tool of extraordinary structures.
Topics include but are not limited to the following research themes:
additive manufacturing
multi-material additive manufacturing
3D printing
4D printing
5D printing
Large scale 3D printing
Additive manufacturing in space
similar transformative approaches
