Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing technology, as an emerging technology, is widely employed to build metallic and non-metallic materials, which is useful for enhancing manufacturing development. Therefore, advances in additive manufacturing continue to be a hot topic, and it is necessary to carry out research on the characteristics of and innovations in additive manufacturing.
After the success of the Special Issue of Materials on “Advances in Additive Manufacturing: Characteristics and Innovation”, we are delighted to introduce this second edition.
The scope of this Special Issue entitled “Advances in Additive Manufacturing: Characteristics and Innovation, 2nd Edition” includes the following areas:
- Improved microstructure of the AM component in all processing steps with the final analysis of its microstructure and properties, including the powder/wire composition, deposition process, and so on.
- Mechanical properties of the AM component, including fatigue performance, wear performance, and so on.
We encourage the submission of both research papers and review articles.

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. Materials 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.
