Special Issue Information

The rise of Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been powered by some of its unique advantages, such as the ability to create complex parts suited for improved functionality while allowing companies to swiftly adjust and respond to market needs. However, there’s more to it: AM is an exceptional route for building innovation, reshaping supply chains, and achieving profitable sustainability. AM technologies are already in use in many different industries for the fabrication of a diverse set of materials; however, their consolidation over conventional manufacturing requires assessing the performance of AM parts. In this context, this special issue is devoted to the mechanical and wear performance of materials fabricated by Additive Manufacturing, including metals and their alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites.

Keywords: Additive Manufacturing; Mechanical properties; Wear performance; Metals and metal alloys; Ceramics; Polymers; Composites.
