Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diamond micro-machining, or single-point diamond turning (SPDT), is extensively utilized in the production of high-precision devices and has diverse applications in advanced optical manufacturing, aerospace, and other sectors. Currently, diamond micro-machining has emerged as a significant processing technique in high-performance and extreme manufacturing sectors. This Special Issue aims to summarize the research progress in diamond micro-machining and its application areas. We invite submissions of high-quality academic papers in the following research areas:
- Modeling fundamental processing mechanisms of diamond micro-machining, encompassing the multi-scale analysis of deformation and phase change mechanisms during processing, including molecular dynamics simulation and finite element simulation.
- The modeling of essential surface parameters including surface roughness, morphology, residual stress, and shape accuracy in diamond micro-machining.
- Machining methods and CNC trajectory design for the processing of complex microstructures using diamond micro-machining.
- Applications of diamond micro-machining in microfluidics, optics, biology, medicine, and additional domains.
- Advanced processing technologies pertinent to diamond micro-machining, including field-assisted processing.
Furthermore, submissions of other scholarly papers pertinent to this topic are also encouraged.

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. 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.
