Progress in Micro-Nano Additive Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

With ongoing advancements in the design and production of increasingly complex components, the limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing in the fabrication of complex geometric structures and micro-sized parts have become increasingly prominent. Additive manufacturing (AM) can overcome the constraints imposed by traditional manufacturing methods on part design, thereby demonstrating significant advantages in the production of complex functional devices. An in-depth understanding of various aspects of additive manufacturing at the micro–nano scale—including materials, processing procedures, and post-processing—is crucial for manufacturing end-use devices with excellent performance. 

This Special Issue aims to comprehensively cover all cutting-edge aspects of additive manufacturing, including but not limited to materials, modeling and simulation, microscopic processes, characterization, post-processing techniques, and applications.

We invite you to contribute by submitting original research papers, review articles, or perspectives to this Special Issue.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
