Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last two decades, thanks to the advances in computer-aided design (CAD) technology in the biomedical industry, many novel and important applications have been created to save lives and to enhance patients’ treatments around the world. The use of CAD is now common in developing applications such as: (1) the design and manufacture of personalized medical devices, adapted to the morphology of a specific patient; (2) tissue engineering in which simulation, biomimetic design, analysis, and fabrication of tissue scaffolds are used; and (3) healthcare diagnosis and management, which support physicians in the visualization and extraction of hidden abnormalities, and help them in making more accurate treatment decisions.
This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the role CAD technology plays in the biomedical industry and its applications—some examples include:
- Prothesis, medical device, and implant design
- Pre-operative surgical planning and design
- Detection and diagnostic approaches
- Additive manufacturing and 3D and 4D printing
We hope that this Special Issue will be a worthwhile contribution by the international research group and scientific community to highlight the current and future potential applications of CAD in order to solve problems related to CAD use in biomedical engineering.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
