Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive Manufacturing (AM) builds the part layer by layer from a material supplied as a fine powder and could be an alternative to milling a workpiece from the solid block. AM uses computer aided design (CAD) software or 3D object scanners to direct hardware to deposit material layer by layer.
The fundamental benefit of additive manufacturing is the combination of productivity with low volume, high complexity and frequently changing parts.
Over the past few years, we have seen the rapid development of additive manufacturing of machine parts using novel alloy materials as the industry is still waiting for materials which enable the technology to fully realize its true potential. Various metals, plastics and composite materials can be used in AM. Advanced alloy manufacturers are generally able to control the proportion of the elements in the alloy composition with an accuracy of 0.1%, but even small changes in the concentrations of individual elements can lead to large non-linear changes in the material behavior.
To meet today's high demands on the accuracy and efficiency of production, it is necessary to develop precise physical models to predict the properties of new alloy materials depending on their chemical composition, and to use computer methods to design and optimize the process. Understanding the fundamental relationship between materials and the processing environment is important for additive manufacturing in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and medicine.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in additive manufacturing and trends in new material development. We encourage to publish research on optimization of the process for modern manufacturing engineering, in particular modeling and computer simulation of material behavior during sintering powders and removing machining allowances after AM products.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original, high-quality scientific articles, short communications, and state-of-the-art reviews for this Special Issue. Both theoretical and experimental contribiutions can be submitted.

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.
