Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
AM laser and EB powder bed fusion are today well-known research, development, and production technologies for generating complex, high-quality components and structures. The macrostructures of LPBF- or EBPBF-prepared components appear as collages of solidified track segments, which have been re-melted several times by the adjacent beam traces during the AM process. The high cooling rate of a small weld pool that characterizes these processes leads to the formation of very fine microstructures and improved mechanical properties. The parts can be found in products from the automotive, aerospace, and optical industries, as well as in the medical and telecommunications industries. Normally, for industrial purposes, a higher process output is desirable; other important factors are staff safety, product end-quality, and robust manufacturing.
In this Special Issue of JMMP, the submissions should be related to materials processing and/or manufacturing. It is worth noting that numerical simulation should be validated by experimental results and include the pertinent data. We are looking for recent innovations that focus on:
- improved and/or new feedstock powder
- multi-material manufacturing
- process monitoring for sound/robust manufacturing
- process stability improvement
- enhancing product quality and dimensional accuracy
- decreasing manufacturing lead time
- increasing production rate

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
