Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past decade, there has been an increased interest in the use of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in many industrial applications, and it has been identified as one of the most promising production technologies. AM technologies were identified as a segment with high growth potential as well as high performance manufacturing and correspond to high levels of technology maturity. AM allows the integration of various components in the printed part, such as sensors, mechanical parts, and various reinforcing elements. Reinforcements can be made with polymeric or even metallic reinforcing elements.
The goal of this Special Issue entitled “Studies on Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials” is to share different issues in the additive manufacturing (AM) of advanced materials whether they are metallic, ceramic or polymeric materials.
The Special Issue shall thus publish articles including but is not limited to the following topics:
- Design for additive manufacturing;
- Modeling and simulation for additive manufacturing;
- Additive manufacturing of advanced materials: metals, ceramics, and polymers;
- Additive manufacturing process capability;
- Additive manufacturing characterization;
- Additive manufacturing and quality control.
We kindly invite you to submit a manuscript(s) for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all 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.
