Manufacturing Methods or Processing Methods in Micromachines, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Manufacturing technologies have been the subject of much research and concentration in industry over recent years. Traditional or non-traditional technologies, cutting or additive manufacturing technologies are currently the basis for obtaining finished parts, while precision production technologies have been developed to meet the requirements of micro-dimensions and high manufacturing precision. In addition, fundamentally different technologies are now combined to exploit the strengths and advantages of several distinct process categories to obtain and highlight new properties or uses. Micro-scale production processes are key technologies that make it possible to better understand and reduce the gap between the nano- and macro-domains. They allow us to increase the accuracy of micro/nano-precision production technologies and the integration of different micro-processing technologies in large-scale production processes. Consequently, this Special Issue aims to present research papers and communication and review articles focusing on new methodological developments in micro- and nano-scale production, i.e., on new process chains, including process optimization, quality assurance approaches, and metrology for all production categories.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Dr. Laurentiu Slatineanu
Guest Editor

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.
