Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) has proven to be a major component of the Industry 4.0 revolution. Part of the advantage of AM is its flexibility. Indeed, AM covers a wide range of processes, such as directed energy deposition, extrusion-based, powder bed fusion, and ink and binder jetting. Additionally, these myriad processes cover an equally wide range of materials such as metals, powders, polymers, and organic structures. While significant advancements have been achieved in each of these areas, new construction challenges are being identified. These challenges require continued advancement not just of the processes themselves, but of the materials used.
It is my pleasure to invite authors to submit original research articles and review articles that will contribute to the broad area of novel materials and their application to meet the next generation of AM challenges. This invitation is not limited only to materials; research and review articles on the hardware, software, controls, algorithms, etc. necessary to affect the use of said materials are also welcome.

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.
