Manufacturing Technology: Materials, Innovations and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The development of manufacturing technology is the basis for the expected changes in the industry as a response to global economic, social and environmental challenges. The challenges of the new industrial era make it necessary to take an interdisciplinary look at the problems and challenges related to manufacturing technologies. Recognizing these challenges and formulating solutions requires the consideration of knowledge in the field of materials engineering, chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, IT, transport, logistics, finance and economics.

This Special Issue is a platform for the exchange of knowledge and the experience of scientists related to innovations in the field of manufacturing technology, the development of subtractive, additive and hybrid machining processes, circular economy and sustainable production. The scope of the Special Issue includes, among others, the following research topics:

• Supervision and monitoring of subtractive, additive and hybrid machining processes;
• Simulation, prediction and optimisation of manufacturing processes;
• Development of machining tools and machining devices;
• Application of digitisation, virtualisation methods as well as artificial intelligence methods in product design and manufacturing processes;
• Innovations in automation and human–machine interfaces;
• Eco-design, eco-manufacturing and sustainable production;
• Recycling, waste management and circular economy in manufacturing processes.

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.
