Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Manufacturing of automotive and aeronautical parts, precision components and bioengineered implants relies on machine tools as the dominant production element. However, machines and manufacturing methods nowadays are certainly not the same as in the past due to significant technical advancements in materials, actuators, sensors and numerical control. High performance machines have become more popular, resulting in shorter set-up and lead times, higher production rates, greater accuracy and higher precision. High performance manufacturing operations necessitated the usage of new tools which combine strong substrates, optimised geometries and wear-resistant coatings. Precision in high performance manufacturing has also gone from tenths of millimetres to below hundredths in a century, and some nowadays machines are on the verge of crossing the micron barrier. Most recently, hybrid manufacturing technologies are emerging to be more popular as they offer great potential in obtaining high quality products with greater productivity, accuracy, energy efficiency and minor impacts to the environment. Despite this, the majority of hybrid manufacturing methods are still in the research stage, with just a handful making it into industrial usage. Today and future needs for machine tools and manufacturing operations include using less power and becoming more eco-friendly while maintaining a superb integrity of products.
This is a call for papers for a Special Issue on "High Performance and Hybrid Manufacturing Processes". This Special Issue will provide a venue for scholars and researchers to share their most recent theoretical and technical successes, as well as to highlight key topics and difficulties for future study in the field. The submitted papers are expected to raise original ideas and potential contributions to theory and practice. The following research topics are included, but not limited to:
- High performance and hybrid manufacturing
- Hybrid manufacturing operations for enhanced product precision and integrity.
- Process monitoring and control techniques to achieve improved performance.
- Product surface/subsurface integrity following high performance and hybrid manufacturing.
- Simulation of high performance and hybrid 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 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.
