Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Materials focuses mainly on the additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials. The AM process has strong advantages, such as “high freedom of design”, “complexity for free by topological optimization” and “potential elimination of tooling”, over classical manufacturing processes. However, AM is still facing hurdles to overcome in relation to widespread utilization, especially metallurgical conditions for tailoring AM components. Therefore, this Special Issue is a good opportunity for researchers around the world to disseminate different aspects of their work related to the additive manufacturing of metallic materials.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Alloy design for additive manufacturing;
- Process design for additive manufacturing;
- Post-process design, such as heat treatment and machining, for additive manufacturing;
- Process–microstructure–properties relationship;
- Modeling and simulation of additive manufacturing processes;
- Materials characterization in AM components;
- Component manufacturing: pre- and post-processing strategies.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full experimental or numerical papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Jong Bae Jeon

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
