Multi-Objective Optimization of Machining Parameters for Free Form Surfaces

Dear Colleagues,

Today, the advanced parts producing industry is focused on a transformation to smart manufacturing. However, finding an effective path to smart manufacturing is one of the biggest challenges for manufacturers in various industries. To make this possible, new advanced manufacturing solutions must be developed. They start with modern machine tools. Then, through the process integration and optimization, efficient high-quality machining processes are developed, resulting in time and energy savings, reduced CO₂ emissions and improved quality of machined parts.

This Special Issue aims to present the recent advances in the modelling and optimization of parts with complex shapes machining process for modern manufacturing engineering. Especially CNC machining, application of modern tools, machining difficult-to-cut materials, machining of additively manufactured semi-finished products, computer modelling and simulation of the cutting process and the use of Artificial Intelligence, Finite Element Methods, Design of Experiment and other modern techniques in this process.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
