Article collection on Additive Manufacturing

Smart Materials in Manufacturing is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal. We publish original research papers and authoritative reviews that drive innovation in the manufacturing and processing of advanced materials with embedded functionality. The focus is on existing and emerging manufacturing technologies that process novel materials and systems. Typically, these offer a variety of enhancements and capabilities, including, but not limited to, structural hierarchy, controlled phase formation, improved and bespoke properties for target applications, shape memory and morphing ability, stimuli responsiveness, sensing and actuation. We are interested in papers that characterise these constructs and assess their ability to achieve real-world functionality.

This collection features articles on Additive Manufacturing published in Smart Materials in Manufacturing . All articles are free to read and download.
