Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humanity has always had aspirations of achieving the impossible. Thus, although a few decades ago the ability to print a rocket or a heart on a printer sounded like science fiction, now many people have a 3D printer at home.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D Printing, dates back to the mid-1980s. The first commercial additive manufacturing machine (SLA-1) was sold in 1988 by 3D Systems. Since then, the research results of thousands of researchers and engineers who are in love with 3D printing have found their way into the fields of aircraft engineering, rocket science, propulsion systems, medical products, microcircuits, the food industry, etc. Additive technologies have made it possible to create parts of a new, more complex shape that could not be made using traditional production methods (stamping, molding, milling and casting) from polymers, ceramics and metals.
Research into improving the properties of materials already in use, as well as introducing completely new materials into additive technologies is of particular importance as a pillar of further development as a response to the current economic needs of rapid and low-cost manufacturing. This Special Issue is the right place to present current needs and opportunities for future improvements or new materials for additive manufacturing.
We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.

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.
