The aim of this special issue is to present recent developments and technological capabilities of additive manufacturing. Pre-processing, in-situ processing, and post-processing are important stages that impact the final properties of the produced parts. Experimental results, numerical modelling methods, data analytics, and optimisation of additive manufacturing processes are considered in this edition. The book will be helpful to researchers and practitioners in additive technologies.

The main topics of this special issue devoted to development of new and optimisation of existing forging and rolling, mathematical description and parameterisation of flow, damage and fracture behaviour of new workpiece and tool materials, mathematical description and parameterisation of friction, heat transfer and wear in forging and rolling, development of numerical methods, formulations and algorithms for numerical simulation of forging and rolling processes, validation of simulation models on industrial examples, computer-aided process control. Furthermore, the results of the Collaborative Research Centre 1153 on Tailored Forming are presented here. The presented research results will be useful for many engineers and researchers whose activity is related to metal processing.

This book presents selected peer-reviewed contributions from the international conference Metallography; Fractography 2025, held in April 2025 in the High Tatra Mountains, the Slovak Republic. The conference aims to provide a forum for discussing recent advances in metallography, fractography, and materials science and engineering. The book covers traditional metallic materials, as well as modern and advanced materials and related technologies. Emphasis is placed on experimental methods, microstructural characterisation, and analysis of the relationship between processing, structure, and properties. The proceedings also aim to promote international collaboration and knowledge exchange between academia, research institutions, and industry.

The 6th International Scientific and Practical Conference “Water Supply and Wastewater: Disposal Design, Construction, Operation and Monitoring” (6th WSWR, 15-17 October 2025, Lviv, Ukraine) has become an important platform for discussing pressing issues and contemporary challenges in water management. The publication of this conference includes scientific papers and analytical studies that reflect the current state and future prospects for the development of water supply and sewerage systems under increasing environmental and climate-related risks, drinking water and wastewater treatment technologies, and methods for sludge treatment and disposal, and will serves as a valuable source of knowledge for the scientific community, design and operating organisations, public authorities, and businesses in the sphere of sustainable water supply and sewerage systems.
