Additive Manufacturing of Materials: Process and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of additive manufacturing technology has revolutionized the manufacturing sector and the fields it serves. With the deepening of research and the continuous expansion of application requirements, various intelligent additive manufacturing technologies have been developed. Additionally, more and more materials are now applied in the field of additive manufacturing processing, further promoting the advancement of additive manufacturing. So far, additive manufacturing technology can be applied not only to the preparation of rigid parts, but also to prepare various flexible devices, even biological tissues. This Special Issue on “Additive Manufacturing of Materials: Process and Applications” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances of additive manufacturing technologies, processes, materials and mechanisms. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Metallic material (pure metallic materials, composite metallic materials, high-entropy alloys, etc.) process and applications;
• Non-metallic material (ceramics, polymers, biomass materials, etc.) process and applications;
• Mechanism investigations into continuous additive manufacturing, heat and mass transfer;
• Material dispersion, fusion and solidify mechanisms

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
