Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing, as an innovative technology, has gained the attention of many researchers. Due to its ability to produce components with a complex geometry that requires a limited amount of final finishing, reduces the lead time and material waste, and minimizes carbon footprints, this technology has proven to be beneficial in numerous industries such as aerospace, defense, medical, automobile, and, recently, nuclear. The aerospace sector has major application potential for this technology. However, there are still some obstacles to its wide application, such as cracks and coarse dendrites. These issues result in the low performance of additively manufactured components. Thus, new materials, new technology based on additive manufacturing, and new monitoring/control methods are needed. This Special Issue aims to integrate and present the latest advances to inspire and inform relevant researchers in the field of additive manufacturing with aerospace materials and to promote the application of additive manufacturing technology.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- New materials or materials modification for additive manufacturing.
- New technology based on additive manufacturing for solving the issues with aerospace materials.
- New monitoring and control methods to enhance the quality of additively manufactured components.

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.
