Design, Process and Adoption of New Materials for Additive Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

The potential of additive manufacturing (AM) to revolutionize the production process across various platforms, from aerospace to biomedical engineering, continues to reach new heights. It further reshapes the modern industry’s transformative approach to designing and developing new materials. The development of these materials for AM is expected to enhance its various application-oriented performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

We encourage researchers to submit manuscripts that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Novel material formulations and their unique properties;
• Functional gradient materials;
• Biomaterials;
• High-entropy alloys;
• Theoretical and computational models that predict material behavior;
• Sustainable and eco-friendly materials and practices;
• High-performance polymers;
• Composite materials.

This Special Issue aims to be a comprehensive resource, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers, engineers, industry, and academic professionals. It seeks to explore the design, synthesis, and processing of new materials tailored for AM, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites.

Join us in shaping the future of additive manufacturing by contributing to this Special Issue, a collection of works that will inspire the next wave of technological advancements and industry transformations in the field of AM.

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-blind 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.
