Structure and Properties Modification in Additive Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

Additive manufacturing is an interesting and widespread topic that has a remarkable range of processes with different materials and properties. Advances in this field have grown and paved the way for the inclusion of these processes in the industry. However, on many occasions, properties are not scientifically compared to the changes obtained in the material according to the parameters or post-processing applied to the parts. This can be studied in both metals and plastics and is attracting the interest of many researchers. We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of the science, technology and application of materials used in additive manufacturing. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Real structure and properties of metal additive manufacturing;
• Real structure and properties of polymeric additive manufacturing;
• Surface modification;
• Characterization by spectroscopy and microscopy;
• Measurements and characterizations via other advanced techniques;
• Device manufacturing;
• Material and device modeling;
• Engineering applications.
