Special Issue Information
- Background
Lasers are important tools for advanced manufacturing, and this field has undergone significant progresses in recent years. According to the scale of the process objectives, laser-based manufacturing can be mainly divided into three categories, i.e., laser macromanufacturing, laser micromanufacturing and laser nanomanufacturing. In terms of laser macromanufacturing, laser cutting, laser welding, laser drilling, laser cladding, laser marking, laser cleaning and laser additive manufacturing are the most representative technologies. Considering laser micromanufacturing, laser precision cutting, laser microjoining and laser surface microengineering are examples of representative technologies. As for laser nanomanufacturing, ultrafast laser direct writing, multiphoton polymerization, interference lithography and nanoparticle preparation and joining are representative technologies.
- Goal
This Special Issue focuses on advances in laser multiscale manufacturing technologies that can bring together scientists and engineers working in the advanced manufacturing field to openly discuss the recent state-of-the-art, particularly under the relations among macro-, micro- and nanostructures and their associated properties. Such topics are the foundation of technical concern when pushing the advancement of laser-based manufacturing technologies. Deep understanding of the multiscale structure evolution and modeling of materials under laser irradiation can help to better understand the laser/material interaction mechanisms and, therefore, allow increased possibilities for the intersecting application of those laser manufacturing technologies.
The aim of the current research topic is to cover promising, recent, and innovative research trends in the laser multiscale manufacturing technology area. Areas of research to be covered in may include, but are not limited to, the topics described above.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
