Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The laser was a major invention of the 20th century, along with atomic energy, the computer and semiconductors. Laser processing technology is non-contact, which is suitable for the processing and manufacturing of various materials without cutting forces. During the machining process, the macro-/microprocessing of the mechanical motion and high-speed scanning of galvanometers can be realized. Compared with traditional processing, it has significant advantages in various aspects.
Today, with the development of materials science and technology, various new materials are emerging at a relentless pace. People's technical demand for material applications is constantly increasing, and advanced materials have been widely used in various fields. At the same time, composite processing technology is also gradually developing. The composite manufacturing of multiple energy fields can benefit from the advantages of various single energies. After the optimization of various energy field combinations, the high-performance processing of materials can be achieved.
This Special Issue will summarize recent advances in the fields of laser processing and multi-energy field composite manufacturing. Articles published in this Special Issue will cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to, laser processing, special processing technology, high-speed cutting, digital manufacturing, beam modulation, multi-energy field manufacturing, hybrid machining, five-axis machining, and surface quality. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest achievements in the fields of laser processing and multi-energy field composite manufacturing; solicit the most important discoveries; highlight the challenges of processing mechanisms, theories, and technologies; and provide an outlook on future directions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
