Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology for constructing complex 3D geometries by adding multiple layers of material based on digital computer-aided design models. The nature of additive manufacturing has brought several advantages compared to conventional manufacturing methods, which can be separated into categories of properties and shapes. However, despite the enormous advantages of additive manufacturing, the process suffers from poor surface integrity and sequential deteriorated structural properties.
This Special Issue includes (but is not limited to) studies on the methodologies that are being used to enhance the structural integrity of AM materials from a scientific point of view and how they can be applied in industry more frequently. We welcome the submission of research on all kinds of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, and composite materials that outlines the enhancement of the properties, shape accuracy, and sustainability of AM in production. Both original research papers and review articles are 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 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.
