Additive Manufacturing Technologies in Materials Science

Dear Colleagues,

The primary aim of this Special Issue is to present recent trends in fields related to Additive Manufacturing. We would like to invite academics and researchers to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Additive Manufacturing Technologies in Materials Science”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering additive manufacturing technology, additive manufacturing equipment, additive manufacturing materials, and the characterization of additive manufacturing materials.

Contributions that are closely related to materials processing are welcome, as well as both research papers and review articles.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Additive manufacturing technology
2. Additive manufacturing equipment
3. Additive manufacturing materials
4. Coating technology
5. Materials characterization
6. Numerical simulation of additive manufacturing process
7. Additive manufacturing process monitoring
8. Rapid prototyping
9. Intelligent forming technology
10. Additive manufacturing materials characterization

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
