Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to this Special Issue of our journal, dedicated to exploring the transformative role of sensors in the realm of additive manufacturing. As the field of additive manufacturing continues to evolve, the integration of advanced sensor technologies becomes increasingly pivotal in enhancing precision, quality control, and process optimization. We invite authors to submit research articles on sensors employed in additive manufacturing processes, spanning from the in situ monitoring of temperature, pressure, and humidity to the utilization of advanced imaging techniques. We look forward to reading your articles on the latest developments, challenges, and breakthroughs in sensor applications, shedding light on how these technologies are shaping the future of additive manufacturing. Together, these contributions will form a comprehensive resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners aiming to stay at the forefront of the symbiotic relationship between sensors and additive manufacturing technologies.

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. Sensors 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.
