Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, 3D fabrication has been developed using additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, which can meet the needs for on-demand fabrication of net-shape and near-net-shape multimaterial parts with multifunctionalities. This technology can provide rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing services, and versatile AM fabrication platforms could be advantageously shared by many users thanks to enhanced virtualization and collaborative work through a cloud. Future smart factories rely on smart manufacturing and real-time control of fabrication.
In this Special Issue, an open access forum is provided to contribute to the investigation of different aspects of the additive manufacturing technique in order to 3D print small components. Researchers may share their findings on the latest ongoing research and development activities, on the current state-of-the-art, and also on prior history. Both research papers and reviews are highly welcome.
The Special Issue will include (but will not be limited to) the following topics: feedstock modification, rheology, microstructural and mechanical characterization, and finite element modeling, among others.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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 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.
