Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser additive manufacturing is one of the most popular new technologies in the manufacturing field. This is because it permits the generation of metallic complex structures, as well as the creation of new alloys and super isotropic alloys with new properties.
The possibility of designing metallic structures and properties has caught the attention of several industrial sectors such as biomedicine, construction, power, automotive, aerospace, and microelectronics. Various methods to carry out laser additive manufacturing currently exist, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. All methods, however, possess high reproducibility, automatization, precision, and environmental friendliness. New laser additive manufacturing methods are also in development.
This Special Issue will focus on specimens fabricated with laser additive manufacturing methods.
Subjects of interest include new laser additive manufacturing methods, the production of new alloys, and structure fabrication with traditional methods. Additionally, the evaluation and assessment of the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of these new samples will be covered by this Special issue.

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.
