Progress in 3D Printing II

Dear Colleagues,

Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, or layered manufacturing, was introduced in the 1980s with the goal of fabricating customized or complex objects without the use of molds or machining. It has attracted particular attention from polymer chemists, materials scientists, and engineers due to the versatile polymer chemistry-related innovations, and it is widely used in the scientific fields of microfluidics, biomedical devices, soft robotics, surgery, tissue engineering, dentistry, and drug delivery.

Following the success of "Progress in 3D Printing", https://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers/special_issues/Prog_3D_Print, a previous Special Issue in Polymers, we continue to provide a platform to showcase recent research advances in polymer processing and the development of polymers and advanced polymer systems, specifically for 3D printing.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
