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 / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Additive Manufacturing Guide for Authors. ## When to trigger - The author names Additive Manufacturing for an AM-process, AM-materials, or AM-qualification manuscript and

What does the additive-manufacturing skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill additive-manufacturing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
