Use when targeting the journal Additive Manufacturing or deciding whether an AM-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the process–structure–property and qualification bar, AM-specific experimental rigor, the AM-vs-metallurgy and AM-vs-subtractive routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Additive Manufacturing (additive-manufacturing)

## Journal positioning

Additive Manufacturing is a leading archival journal dedicated to the **science of
additive manufacturing**: new AM processes and process physics,
process–structure–property relationships, AM-specific materials, design-for-AM,
and in-situ monitoring and qualification. Its center of gravity is AM as a science —
understanding how the layer-wise process governs structure and performance, and how
to monitor and qualify what is built — established with experimental rigor. The
journal differs from a metallurgy-first venue (where the microstructure mechanism is
the point) and from a precision-machining venue (subtractive/precision). Papers that
print a known part on a commercial machine with no AM-specific insight, or that
report a property with no link to the process, are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit
