On behalf of the SME/NAMRI Scientific Committee Chair, Chair-Elect, Advisor and Past Chair, and NAMRI President-Elect, we extend a warm invitation to you to contribute your original research manuscripts to the 53rd North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 53). The Conference will be held at Clemson University, Greenville, South Carolina, June 23-27, 2025.
NAMRC 53 stands as the premier international arena for advanced manufacturing research. Gathering a diverse community estimated at over 800 researchers and manufacturers from around the world, this event serves as a hub for sharing the latest advancements in manufacturing systems and processes, materials removal, additive manufacturing, smart manufacturing, industrial case studies, manufacturing-related education, and sustainable manufacturing.
Papers submitted to the 53rd North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 53) must be prepared using the conference paper template in Microsoft Word or LATEX, and they must strictly follow the instructions in the template. NAMRC papers should only report unpublished materials of the authors, and/or be review of the state of the art. Each paper must have a speaker identified at the time of paper submission. Each paper shall consist of a minimum of 3 (Three) pages and a maximum of 12 (Twelve) pages. After review, high quality papers will be recommended to be fast-tracked to SME’s Journal of Manufacturing Systems (JMS) and Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP).
Every accepted paper (including the fast-track papers described above) must be presented in person at NAMRC 53 by an author. Unregistered authors (see the deadline below) and/or unpresented papers will be removed from the NAMRC Proceedings in Manufacturing Letters, JMS, or JMP. There is no exception for any reason such as visa, funding or others.
To submit your paper(s) to NAMRC 53, please head to the conference EasyChair site. We kindly ask you to select one (or more) of the following seven available tracks:

NAMRC paper review will be handled by the Scientific Committee of the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of SME (NAMRI/SME). Each paper will be evaluated by at least three experts before a review decision is made.
Option for Industrial Authors
Authors from industry who cannot get permission to submit full papers, are allowed to submit an abstract for “presentation only” at NAMRC 53. For abstract submission in this case, industry authors should also use the NAMRC paper template but provide title, authors, affiliations, and abstract only. Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair for review. However, these abstracts will NOT appear in the NAMRC 53 proceedings.
