Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Precision manufacturing is an important aspect of the modern manufacturing industry, enabling the production of components with high accuracy and complex geometries. Precision manufacturing technology involves many disciplines, such as mechanical engineering, materials science, and computer science, to promote the continuous innovation and development of manufacturing technology. Precision manufacturing technology has made much progress in improving product quality, production efficiency, and sustainable development in the areas of aerospace equipment, construction machinery, new energy vehicles, transport equipment, etc.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in precision manufacturing technology, which cover a broad scope, involving theoretical studies, manufacturing processes, and equipment development. In addition, we welcome research works about multidisciplinary manufacturing technologies, such as high-energy beam (laser, e-beam, and ion beam) processes and hybrid (additive combined with subtractive) manufacturing technology.
We are interested in articles that focus on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Precision manufacturing technology for aerospace equipment.
- Precision manufacturing technology for construction machinery.
- Lightweight and intelligent manufacturing technology for vehicles and transport equipment.
- Precision manufacturing processes for nonferrous metal, high-performance polymer, and metal matrix composites.
- Extreme manufacturing, micro/nano-manufacturing, and additive manufacturing technology.
The scope of this Special Issue is based on "The First Academic Summit Forum on Precision Welding and Joining of Material Structures". For more information about the event, please visit the following link: https://weld.hit.edu.cn/2024/0711/c1648a348529/page.htm.
Nevertheless, we encourage all scholars, including those who have not yet attended the conference, to submit their papers to this Special Issue.
We look forward to your contributions and believe that this Special Issue will significantly contribute to the advancement of precision manufacturing technology. Should you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.

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.
