Materials Science: 3D Printing in Materials Science

Submission status
Closed
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has advanced significantly in recent years. Materials development for 3D printing has lead to several breakthrough in the field. Many novel materials, such as glass, concrete, composites, magnetic, conductive and edible materials have been proven to be feasible for 3D printing. While many of such materials are still in research and development, 3D printing has no doubt expanded the applicability of such materials. In this Topical Collection, state-of-the-art reviews and current research results which focus on materials science for AM will be reported. This includes, but is not limited to, new alloys, composites, polymers, food, concrete, conductive, magnetic and smart materials. Submissions related to novel applications, designs, processes or characterization methods for such materials are also welcomed.
