Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
AM provides a promising manufacturing solution for how polymer-based products are designed and fabricated. AM processes including stereolithography, digital light processing, selective laser sintering, and fused deposition modelling have been developed and improved over the years, facilitating applications in the aerospace, medical, automobile, customer, and education sectors, etc. To accelerate the development of new polymer materials and applications in AM, it is necessary to investigate the cutting edge of new material design together with AM process advancements for polymers. This Special Issue seeks research papers, letters, short communications, and review articles that cover a wide scope, comprising new polymer materials, processes, methods, systems, and applications in AM. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Polymer materials’ processing, characterization, and performance in AM;
- New polymer material development, formulations and composites;
- Simulation and modelling of the polymer AM process;
- Advancements and optimization of AM;
- Life cycle assessment and optimization of AM;
- Novel applications, medical, robotics and electromechanical systems, extreme environment AM, etc.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
