Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Beam-based technologies represent a large group of additive manufacturing processes whereby a heat source such as a laser or an electron beam is used to consolidate materials, in powder or wire form, to generate 3D objects. Research efforts towards the design of new metallic alloys for AM and on the optimization of post-processing treatments are continuously growing.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent innovations introduced in the fields of materials for beam-based AM, covering both the understanding of process-related effects on material properties and the development of novel alloys with improved properties and processability.

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.
