Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will compile papers from the 3rd International Conference on 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing. The conference, accredited by CPD, will be held in Rome, Italy, on 14–15 November 2024, under the theme "Print the Future: Unleashing Innovation Through 3D Printing Excellence." It promises to be a dynamic and innovative gathering of leading minds in the field of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The event will serve as a melting pot for thought leaders, researchers, industry experts, and enthusiasts, converging to explore additive technologies' vast potential and transformative power.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for academics and industrial practitioners to share the latest achievements, identify critical issues, and address challenges in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.
