Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection addresses recent advances in generative design methods (particularly various design optimization including topology, shape, and size) with additive manufacturing techniques in engineering and applied science, from innovative methodologies in modeling, simulation, and digital design to a wide range of applications in materials, mechanisms, machines, and structures.
Contributions (full-length research and review articles) leveraging all aspects of generative designs and additive manufacturing are welcome. Submissions will be subject to peer review to be handled by the editorial team of this collection.
The research topics include but are not limited to:
- Methodologies in design: New or enhanced existing methods relevant to various aspects of generative design for specific purposes, including topological, shape and size optimization, robust/reliability-based design optimization, and sample and surrogate modeling optimization;
- Techniques in manufacturing: 3D printing for metallic and plastic materials and structures, especially constraints in printing lattice-type structures with complex geometries, and the testing and characterization of the manufactured designs;
- Applications: advanced materials and structures including various artificially architectured land and marine vehicles, as well as robotics, energy, and biomedical/biomechanical domains.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
