Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) has evolved from a rapid prototyping technology to a fabrication method that can produce complex end-use parts for critical applications. The design freedom that AM technology offers can open doors for the fabrication of components that do not currently exist and can allow for design optimization that cannot be fabricated even with expensive machining processes. The need for the development of advanced materials with mechanical properties that are superior to existing ones is constant for several challenging applications. Research about this topic aims to explore unique strategies in the development of advanced materials via an additive manufacturing route.

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.
