1. What is the focus of the special issue in Progress in Additive Manufacturing journal?
The special issue in Progress in Additive Manufacturing journal focuses on the processing of various materials, including polymers, fiber-reinforced composites, and traditional metals. It emphasizes functional integration, resonance dampening, optimized channels, and surface features for adhesive part bonding. The issue also covers medical needs for prostheses and process stability in recoater-driven additive manufacturing. The special issue was selected from papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Advanced Computational Engineering and Experimenting (ACE-X 2022) in Florence, Italy. Guest Editors Professor Markus Merkel and Dr. Leonhard Hitzler, experts in additive manufacturing, contributed to the selection and organization of the special issue.
