Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue, titled “Recent Advancements in Laser Processing and Manufacturing Technologies”, we invite the submission of original research articles and comprehensive review papers that address the latest developments in laser-based processing, materials engineering, and advanced manufacturing technologies. The scope includes, but is not limited to, laser surface modification, laser–material interactions, additive manufacturing, corrosion resistance enhancement, and emerging manufacturing processes with applications in mechanical, aerospace, and spacecraft engineering. Drawing on over three decades of experience across academia, research, and industry, and current engagement with Technological University Dublin and Space Industry, the Guest Editor seeks high-quality, interdisciplinary contributions that bridge fundamental research with industrial implementation. This Special Issue aims to serve as an international platform for cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and future manufacturing strategies. Researchers from academia, industry, and research institutions worldwide are highly encouraged to submit their latest findings for this timely and impactful Special Issue collection.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
