All papers from the proceedings will be printed in hard copy, and on a CD-ROM in an electronic format.

All original and research papers from the 19th International Conference RaDMI-2019, which successfully pass the review process, will be published in the journal Machines (eISSN 2075-1702; website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/machines/) in this Special Issue, on 31 March 2020. Machines is indexed in the following citation databases: Scopus from Elsevier (website: https://www.scopus.com/), ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index) as part of WoS (Web of Science) from Clarivate Analytics Corp. (website: https://www.clarivate.com/products/web-of-science/), INSPEC from IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology; website: http://www.theiet.org/resources/inspec/), GS (Google Scholar; website: http://scholar.google.com/), and so on.

This Special Issue aims to bring together papers that report on the recent advances and challenges in addressing the problems of, and designing new solutions for the improvement of the tools, equipment, and technologies in manufacturing engineering. Original contribution papers with contents that present successful solutions to new problems in manufacturing systems will be considered. We believe that this Special Issue will be useful and informative to both researchers and practitioners. We also hope to deliver readers promising new ideas and directions for future developments in the field of manufacturing engineering.

Suitable topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Research and development of manufacturing systems;
• Tools, equipment, and technologies in manufacturing engineering;
• New materials and product design;
• Tribology;
• Maintenance and effectiveness of technical systems;
• Quality management, sustainable development, and management in mechanical engineering;
• Application of information technologies and electronics in mechanical engineering.
