Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser technology has revolutionized the sheet metal processing industry, enabling precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly cutting and ablation processes. This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge research results and generate valuable insights into the recent developments, challenges, and innovations in this field.
Researchers and experts from academia and industry are invited to submit their original research and review articles that address various aspects of the laser ablation and precision cutting of sheet metals. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced laser systems and beam profiling techniques;
- Novel materials and alloys with tailored or improved properties;
- Surface quality, integrity, and microstructure analysis;
- Real-world applications in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries;
- Environmental and sustainability considerations;
- Process optimization, modeling, and simulation;
- The deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to provide a unique opportunity to disseminate cutting-edge research, share practical insights, and foster collaboration among experts in the field. We encourage submissions that highlight innovative techniques, address real-world challenges, and push the boundaries of laser-based sheet metal processing and ablation technologies.

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. Metals 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.
