Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained extraordinary expansion and evolution in the manufacturing industry, reshaping the way we approach metal component production and design. In both academia and industry, there has been a notable increase in the exploration of advanced technologies and applications in additive manufacturing (AM).

This Special Issue seeks to compile a diverse range of research papers and perspectives that explore the forefront of metal additive manufacturing and new developments. We welcome submissions that address various aspects of the field, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Advanced metal additive process;
  • Process optimization;
  • Material characterization;
  • Design and simulation;
  • Sustainability and environmental impact;
  • Challenges and future directions;
  • Real-world applications of metal AM in diverse sectors.
