Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on “Advancements in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing for Orthopedic Applications” of Biomimetics. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments, innovations, and applications of 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies in the field of orthopedics.
Introduction: The field of orthopedic applications has been significantly transformed by the advent of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. These technologies have enabled the creation of customized implants, prosthetics, and surgical tools with unprecedented precision and functionality. The integration of biomimetic principles has further enhanced the performance and biocompatibility of these medical devices.
Aim: This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research articles and reviews that address the advancements in 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies for orthopedic applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the development of new materials, design optimization, clinical applications, and the integration of digital and computational tools.
Themes: We welcome submissions that cover a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Customization of orthopedic implants and prosthetics;
- Biomimetic design principles in 3D printing;
- Novel materials for additive manufacturing in orthopedics;
- Advances in surgical tools and guides;
- Clinical case studies and applications;
- Computational modeling and simulation for design and fabrication.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Francis T. Omigbodun

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
