Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to warmly invite you to participate in the upcoming 3rd volume of our Special Issue, entitled ‘Advances in Micro and Nano Manufacturing: Process Modeling and Applications’, dedicated to micro and nano manufacturing processes. Building upon the resounding success of the previous volumes [https://www.mdpi.com/journal/micromachines/special_issues/Micro_Manufacturing; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/micromachines/special_issues/Micro_Manufacturing_II], this edition aims to continue fostering innovation and knowledge dissemination in this dynamic field.
Micro and nano manufacturing technologies have witnessed remarkable progress in research and industrial environments, enabling product miniaturization and the integration of new functionalities. In comparison to conventional manufacturing scales, micro- and nano-scale technologies pose unique challenges, necessitating the study and modeling of diverse mechanical, thermal, and fluid dynamics phenomena.
The 3rd volume of this Special Issue seeks to advance the frontiers in micro and nano manufacturing processes across a broad spectrum of techniques, including micro/nano injection molding, powder injection molding, micro milling, micro EDM, micro waterjet cutting, additive manufacturing, and beyond. We cordially invite contributions in, but not limited to the following areas:
Innovative Modeling Approaches: Share your groundbreaking research on the development of novel modeling techniques tailored to micro and nano manufacturing processes.
Validation and Rigorous Testing: Ensure the reliability and accuracy of models by validating them against experimental data, contributing to the robustness of the field.
Material Model Calibration: Present methodologies for effectively calibrating material models, addressing the specific challenges posed by micro and nano manufacturing scales.
Theoretical vs. Experimental Analyses: Explore theoretical predictions and compare them with experimental observations, shedding light on the strengths and limitations of current models.
Process Optimization Insights: Investigate the influence of various processing factors on selected process response variables, offering valuable insights for optimizing micro and nano manufacturing processes.
As with previous volumes, this Special Issue maintains its inclusivity, welcoming contributions across a wide spectrum of materials and manufacturing methods. By doing so, we aim to provide a comprehensive compilation of the latest advancements, exemplifying the pivotal role of modeling and simulation in advancing micro and nano manufacturing technologies.
Your participation in this endeavor is crucial to the continued growth and development of this field. We encourage you to submit your research, share your insights, and engage in the dialogue that will drive innovation forward.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to the 3rd volume of this Special Issue, and we are confident that, together, we will further the frontiers of micro and nano manufacturing.
