Aims & Scope

Additive Manufacturing Letters is a highly selective peer-reviewed journal focused on rapid time-to-first-decision for short-format manuscripts describing early stage, emerging and/or ground-breaking research in the field of additive manufacturing.

The preferred length of manuscripts is 5000 words without counting references or the abstract.

Submissions will be provided with a final decision targeted for completion within 4 weeks of either: (a) conditional acceptance with a single minor revision; or (b) rejection.

Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming widely adopted in industry and academia as disruptive new end-use products are designed and manufactured.

Motivated by the need for a short-format, fast-publication journal, this provides a unique publication outlet for additive manufacturing researchers, engineers and materials scientists in academia and industry.

The journal is agnostic to application areas but all work must be related to additive manufacturing as defined by the ISO/ASTM 52900 standards.

The journal covers a wide scope, comprising early research on new processes, design paradigms, materials systems, and applications in the field of additive manufacturing.
