Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection will focus on additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. The additive manufacturing process usually involves the fabrication of three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models by adding materials layer by layer. Thus, it is able to build components with complex geometry. It is can be applied in the processing of all types of materials, whether traditional (ceramics, metals, polymers, composites), biological, or food related. We invite authors to submit articles concerning the applications of different additive manufacturing techniques, such as stereolithography, digital light processing, selective laser sintering/melting, electron beam melting, fusion deposition modeling, multijet/polyjet 3D printing, direct injection writing, or laminated object manufacturing. Articles investigating additive manufacturing process simulations, the design of new equipment, reviews about specific techniques or materials, and/or the optimization of processing conditions are also welcome.

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. 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 collection 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.
