Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser processing is a groundbreaking technique that is revolutionizing advanced manufacturing across a wide range of materials. With its notable advantages of high efficiency, superior quality, automation, and customization, laser processing techniques have found extensive applications in various industrial sectors, including aerospace, energy, transportation, and healthcare. However, the demands of manufacturing technology in these industries are constantly evolving, becoming more complex and stringent. It is evident that further research is necessary to enhance our understanding of process physics, to optimize processes, and to develop novel applications.
This Special Issue aims to create a platform for showcasing cutting-edge advancements, inspiring new developments and promoting the applications of laser material processing. We welcome both original research papers and reviews from scientists, researchers, engineers, and experts in this field. Topics of interest include the following areas:
- Laser processing and additive manufacturing;
- Laser machining, including cutting/drilling/texturing;
- Laser forming, including bending/rapid prototyping/coloring/deposition;
- Laser joining, including laser welding/brazing/soldering/sintering;
- Laser–matter interaction in material processing;
- Laser-based surface 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. Materials 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 2600 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.
