Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing has already become widespread not only in the academic environment but also in various fields of industry. An important advantage of additive manufacturing is the ability to form functionally graded materials. Products made from such materials can exhibit different properties in certain elements. Variations in properties can be achieved through the formation of a gradient structure or the density or chemical composition of the material. The ability to design and manufacture functionally graded complex shape parts opens up tremendous opportunities in the design of new products and mechanisms.
Modeling the additive manufacturing process makes a more complete understanding of the ongoing processes possible. A large number of different processes simultaneously occurring in additive manufacturing require special approaches to their modeling. Ultimately, however, this allows improving the quality of the resulting products and reducing the number of experiments in the development of the technological process.
Optimization of the design of lightweight bionic and lattice structures solves several problems at once, including reducing the weight of products, and the formation of a complex developed surface, which is especially important in biomedical applications to improve biointegration and implantation. In addition, mesh structures can be used to obtain the required mechanical characteristics such as damping capacity, elastic modulus and others.
This Special Issue will publish new reviews and research findings on the topics covered, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Laser additive manufacturing;
- Lightweight structures;
- Biomaterials and new medical materials, and 3D printing of biomaterials;
- Postprocessing of materials and heat treatment;
- Modeling and design of additive manufacturing;
- New materials and materials with special properties;
- Functionally graded materials;
- 4D and smart materials.

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.
