Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive Manufacturing (AM) remains a rich and rapidly developing theme in metal and alloy processing. The advancement of AM technology has brought opportunities not just for complex metal component fabrication but also for microstructure tailoring and novel material design. To model and analyze this advanced manufacturing technology for metal fabrication process optimization and component performance enhancement has become a challenging issue for both academia and industry.
This Special Issue aims to highlight research on the computation and simulation of metals processed with AM technology. In addition, post-treatment modeling and non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) on AM metals are invited here.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
