Unique attributes

Rapid Prototyping Journal provides researchers with essential information on developments and applications in additive manufacturing (AM) and related technologies. The journal concentrates on development in a manufacturing environment but covers applications in other areas, such as medicine and construction, are also covered. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process.

Topicality

As a factor in meeting market demands quickly and accurately and working towards manufacture using the most cost-effective combination of quality materials, machinery and labour, additive manufacturing is probably the most critical phase in new product development. Because technology is developing so quickly across all manufacturing industries, it is essential to keep pace with new developments and current applications to make AM the speedy process it should be.

Key benefits

Because all papers published in this field are scattered over a wide range of international publications, none of which actually specializes in this particular discipline, this journal is a vital resource for anyone involved in additive manufacturing. It draws together important refereed papers on all aspects of AM from distinguished sources all over the world, to give a truly international perspective on this dynamic and exciting area.
