Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of micromachining has gained a lot of traction owing to the drive towards lightweighting, electrification, and sustainability. Industrial sectors that have shown increasing interest in micromachining include the medical, space, aerospace, and consumer electronics fields.
Research in academia has focused on the experimental investigation of micromachining processes such as micromilling, microturning, and microgrinding. In addition, numerical and finite element models have been developed to predict the performance of micromachined parts. Over the last few years, a series of manufacturing processes have emerged in the macromanufacturing sector that have shown great potential in the improvement of said processes; however, their use in the microscale has not been thoroughly modeled and understood.
Therefore, we invite contributions to showcase recent advances in novel and emerging manufacturing technologies and applications on the microscale. Papers in all areas of micromachining technologies will be considered, including, but not limited to, microcutting, micromilling, microgrinding, polishing, laser micromachining, simulation and modeling in the microscale, and hybrid micromachining. Original research papers and review articles are all welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Nikolaos Tapoglou
Guest Editor
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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
