NAMRC 2025




From June 23 to 27, 2025, the North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) will return for its 53rd edition, continuing its legacy as North America’s premier international research conference in manufacturing and design.

Hosted by SME, NAMRC is recognized for its rigorous peer-reviewed content and its role in shaping the future of discrete-part manufacturing.


Since its inception in 1973, it has served as the primary platform for unveiling foundational and applied research in fields such as material removal, forming, additive manufacturing, cyber-physical systems, and smart manufacturing.

This year’s edition of NAMRC 53 will bring together leading academics, industry professionals, government researchers, and students from around the world to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and accelerate the application of advanced technologies in real-world manufacturing environments.


Key highlights include:


  • Presentations of original research in advanced manufacturing processes and machines
  • In-depth sessions on cyber-physical systems, AI integration, and digital manufacturing
  • Keynote addresses from global leaders in manufacturing innovation
  • Dedicated networking and collaboration spaces for cross-sector engagement
  • Awards recognizing outstanding research, service, and implementation


NAMRC serves as a bridge between research and industrial application, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in manufacturing science and setting the foundation for next-generation production systems.
