Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has become a transformative technology in the manufacturing industry, fundamentally changing the way we design, produce, and use mechanical equipment. However, in both the academic and industrial communities, there are still some challenges facing additive manufacturing that may slow down its development and application in the mechanical field. Therefore, on the one hand, identifying the causes and finding possible solutions can improve the efficiency of AM technology. On the other hand, effectively applying additive manufacturing methods to the design and manufacture of mechanical equipment can greatly improve the performance, reliability, and productivity of machinery.
We invite submissions of original research and review articles that are of high quality, impact, and novelty. The scope of this Special Issue includes papers in all areas of additive manufacturing, particularly the fabrication mechanisms in the additive manufacturing of mechanical equipment and their association with the product properties, will be considered, including but not limited to:
- The formation of microstructures and their mechanical properties in additive manufacturing;
- Development of intelligent composite manufacturing systems;
- Additive manufacturing processes for composite and new materials;
- Additive manufacturing digital twin technology based on the integration of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT);
- Laser additive manufacturing process simulation based on machine learning and numerical calculation methods;
- Process monitoring and control technology based on multiple sensors;
- Applications of additive manufacturing in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and other fields.

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. 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.
