Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing has received special attention from the scientific and industrial community in the last decade, and it is growing with the passage of time. Given that there have been lot of developments in the field, one of the most important aspects that need to be ensured is the reliability of the parts produced by additive manufacturing. Sound structures have been developed using the technique; and novel aspects like light-weighting, functional enhancement by design and/or selective material compaction, functional grading, as well as development of new alloys specific for additive manufacturing are topics of current interest, and it is important to characterize these new developments in terms of their mechanical strength, including static, quasistatic, as well as dynamic behavior relevant to the process and structural aspects of the novel developments.
This Special Issue welcomes original and review research on the topics related to all aspects of mechanical behavior related to additively manufactured materials and components. Papers are open for all material classes and additive processes. Please avoid black box studies reporting results without scientific discussions based on AM process and materials structure.
Looking forward to receive new and interesting results!

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.
