Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid manufacturing (HM) involves combinations of different technologies to overcome their individual limitations and benefit from their synergistic advantages. In the case of hybrid additive manufacturing (HAM), the aim is to overcome the inherent drawbacks of additive manufacturing (AM) related to low productivity, metallurgical defects, rough surface quality, and the lack of dimensional accuracy through integration with conventional manufacturing technologies. HAM can also be seen as a strategy for fostering flexibility and reducing material waste.
Under these circumstances, the aim and objectives of this Special Issue are focused on recent advances in hybrid metal additive manufacturing (HMAM), covering new processing routes, materials, equipment, and applications. Experimental and numerical investigations covering fundamental topics of HMAM are also 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 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. Metals 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 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.
