Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent growth in engineering knowledge and technologies has evoked rapid advancement in multifarious fields. However, the unavailability of suitable materials and manufacturing processes has impeded such advancements. The advantages of the superior characteristics of a material are often mitigated by added processing complexity and manufacturing costs. Hybrid manufacturing attempts to alleviate these difficulties by accentuating the strengths of individual processing avenues, while suppressing the drawbacks. For example, chemical–mechanical polishing enables the planarization of hard wafer materials by a chemical reaction with slurry while enhancing both planarization quality and throughput. Laser-assisted cold spray enables the deposition of metals of high specific stiffness with minimal porosity via the pre- or post-heating of a substrate material.
In this context, this issue focuses on the recent advances in hybrid manufacturing. The collection of state of the art hybrid manufacturing processes around the world should provide the current trends of hybrid manufacturing and help chart its future direction.

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 1800 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.
