Aims & Scope

Aims:

Additive and Smart Manufacturing (ASM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-impact research at the forefront of the digital manufacturing revolution. The journal focuses on the seamless integration of design, materials, processes, and data-driven intelligence to create the next generation of manufacturing systems that are adaptive, efficient, and sustainable.

Scope:

ASM covers the entire ecosystem of next-generation digital manufacturing, with a core focus on the intersection of additive processes and intelligent systems. Key areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Additive Manufacturing Processes & Hardware: Innovations in AM techniques, multi‑material and hybrid systems, in‑situ processing, and open‑source platforms.
  • Advanced & Multi-Functional Materials: Design, characterization, and synthesis of novel AM materials, including smart materials, architected materials, and sustainable feedstock.
  • Smart & Digital Manufacturing Systems: Digital twins, AI/ML for process optimization, real‑time monitoring and control, industrial IoT, and manufacturing data science.
  • Computational Design & Digital Tools: Design for AM (DfAM), topology optimization, generative design, digital workflows, and model‑based definition.
  • Applications & Industrial Implementation: High‑value applications across aerospace, medical, energy, and other sectors; embedded intelligence; repair and digital inventories.
  • Broader Manufacturing Ecosystem: Standardization, sustainability & life-cycle analysis, supply chain transformation, and economic models for adoption.
