Advances in 3D Printing for Micro- and Nanoscale Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of 3D printing technologies is unlocking new possibilities at the micro- and nanoscale in many areas of science and engineering. This Special Issue of Micromachines focuses on the expanding frontiers of 3D printing in biomedical and biological engineering, with particular emphasis on microsized medical devices, diagnostics, analytical systems, drug delivery systems, and related applications in biology and physics. With fabrication techniques becoming more precise and materials more versatile, 3D printing now offers unprecedented control over complex geometries and functional architectures at the microscale—enabling innovation in tissue engineering, minimally invasive therapeutics, lab-on-a-chip systems, and personalized medicine.

We welcome original research articles and reviews that showcase new developments in additive manufacturing approaches that target micro- and nanoscale biomedical applications. Submissions may cover novel printing strategies, biocompatible materials, hybrid fabrication techniques, and the integration of 3D printing with sensing, actuation, or bio-interfacing components. We particularly seek contributions across various disciplines, especially those that include the use of artificial intelligence in design and process optimization. This Special Issue aims to highlight the synergy between advanced microfabrication and biomedical innovation, providing a platform for interdisciplinary insights that will shape the next generation of additive manufacturing technologies.

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-anonymized 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.
