Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Layer-on-layer additive manufacturing (AM) techniques allow for the creation of structures with sophisticated or functional topologies that mimic those found in natural materials. When paired with multimaterial printing or variable density design, free-form capabilities of AM techniques present a rare opportunity for the manufacture of architected materials with specialized functionality and (mechanical) properties.
Therefore, we invite review and original articles on the creation of 3D-printed functional structures for this Special Issue. Advances in their characterization, (post-)processing, computational modeling, and biomedical engineering applications are also covered.
Dr. Francesca Uccheddu

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.
