Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, industries and manufacturers have been increasingly attracted to the production of micro- and nanoscale components because of their many advantages, such as lower production energy, minimal material waste, and corresponding stability issues, as well as their suitability for smart systems. However, selecting an appropriate manufacturing method for these purposes is always challenging because of size limitations and strict tolerances. Machining processes are effective and cost-effective production methods used for the production of miniature components because of their high production rate and appropriate accuracy. However, the advancement of these methods for massive productions with reliable accuracy still merits further comprehensive research in wide relevant aspects.
Accordingly, we are organizing a Special Issue entitled “Micro/Nano Machining Technology and Applications” to address the previously mentioned challenges. The topics covered in this SI can be summarized as follows:
- Micro-machining based on the mechanical material removal process;
- Non-conventional micromachining;
- Micro-machining modeling using theoretical and numerical simulation;
- Geometrical and dimensional tolerances and surface roughness inspection;
- Process condition monitoring;
- Micro-cutting tools;
- Micro-machining for medical devices.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
