Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For several years, micromachining and precision finishing processes have been well developed and reported as methods for removing burrs, improving edge contour, and smoothing and polishing components. These methods are often used to facilitate safer part handling (by attenuating sharp part edges), enhance the fit and function of parts when installed, and create smooth, even micro-finished surfaces to satisfy either functional or aesthetic requirements or standards. This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advancements in micromachining processes used for improving the surface morphology and important surface engineering aspects. Recent research and critical reviews are welcome to be the part of this Special Issue.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Laser micromachining and cutting of complex shaped components and features;
- Precision machining;
- Micro manufacturing and meso- and micro-scale additive manufacturing;
- Micro-machining for biomedical industry;
- Machining of micro-channels and pillars by spark erosion;
- Laser, ultrasonic and abrasive water jet machining;
- Precision machining of additive manufactured components;
- Laser induced periodic surface structures in nanoscale;
- Tribological effects of machining on the micro manufactured components;
- Modelling and optimization of precision micro-machining and finishing for surface integrity enhancement;
- Hybrid machining and finishing for micro and meso parts;
- Micro- and nano-machining for MEMS;
- Effects of precision micro-machining and finishing on geometric accuracy, tribology, and surface integrity of engineered parts engineering;
- Precision machining and finishing of glass, ceramics, and non-metals, Micro/nano finishing of ultra-finished optical components.

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.
