NAMRC is an international forum for applied research and industrial applications in manufacturing and design. NAMRI/SME brings together researchers from leading companies, government laboratories, academic institutions and industrial think tanks to advance the scientific foundation of discrete-parts manufacturing.
At the 2018 NAMRC event, UNC Charlotte Mechanical Engineering Professor Dr. John Ziegert presented the NAMRI/SME Founders Lecture. The lecture was established to honor individuals who served on the NAMRC Scientific Committee from 1973 to 1981 and those members who founded NAMRI/SME.
SME connects manufacturing professionals, academia and communities, sharing knowledge and resources to build inspired, educated and prosperous manufacturers and enterprises.
