Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue on “Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials: Applications, Future Trends and Perspectives of Industry 4.0” in Materials. Original research papers, short communications, and state-of-the-art reviews that are within the scope of this Special Issue are invited.
Industry 4.0 is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes the involvement of new and existing manufacturing processes, which will be helpful in the next industrial revolution. This Special Issue deals with the additive and subtractive manufacturing of metals, alloys, composites, polymers, etc. for biomedical, structural, aerospace, and different applications. This includes additive manufacturing (selective laser melting, laser metal deposition, detonation spraying, fused deposition modeling, etc.), as well as methods of subtractive manufacturing (removing materials), using various types of machining (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, etc.). In other words, some of the topics of interest that will be summarized in this Special Issue are the characteristics, principles, technological levels, applications, advantages, and limitations related to Industry 4.0. This Special Issue will include articles with both standard research approaches and Industry 4.0 applications (e.g., artificial intelligence and machine learning).
There are two methods of production, traditional subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing, which are in continuous dynamic development. These methods both have their advantages and disadvantages. The subject of the research includes both the features of these processes and the possibility of their coexistence in one process. Additive manufacturing is available for a wide range of materials and opens up the possibility of ready-made production of whole pieces. Additive manufacturing enables the design and production of optimal detailed structures with a low mass, at the same time perfectly preserving the properties of the surface layer. In addition, subtractive manufacturing supports additive manufacturing in the area of surface calibration of the surface layer. This interaction of these different manufacturing techniques opens up new opportunities. Manufacturing processes in both subtractive and additive manufacturing are based on CAD models, which are the source code for developing manufacturing procedures from the outside of subtractive manufacturing and from the center of additive manufacturing. However, surfaces created in the additive manufacturing process often need to be supplemented in the subtractive manufacturing process. Therefore, the material behavior in terms of tribological, physical, and mechanical properties, machining, surface integrity, surface quality, cost manufacturing, post-processing methods, and precision manufacturing will be examined in detail.
