Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser additive manufacturing (LAM) has gained popularity in recent years where metallic materials are fabricated in 3D/4D using different laser-based processes like laser power-bed fusion (LPBF)/Selective laser melting (SLM), direct energy deposition (DED), laser-engineering near net shaped processing (LENS), selective laser sintering (SLS), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), etc. With an increasing demand for both materials (development of new materials aligned with the processing conditions) and processes (improvement in processing conditions), the advances in the present field of LAM take place at a rapid pace. Hence, it warrants a Special Issue focusing on the progress in laser additive manufacturing of metal material with improved properties.
Scientific contributions are invited from scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry to disseminate recent inventions and developments in the areas of progress in laser additive manufacturing of metal materials, including alloy design for laser additive manufacturing, in situ process monitoring, process optimization, laser modulation, properties, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data analysis on laser additive manufacturing processes. Manuscripts on computational aspects, including simulations/modeling, 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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
