The 20th edition of the CIRP Conference on Modelling of Machining Operations (CIRP CMMO 2025) will be held in the beautiful historical city of Mons, Belgium, on 22nd and 23rd May 2025 (welcoming event on 21st May in the evening).
Founded in 1998 by Prof. I.S. Jawahir, this high-level conference will be an excellent opportunity for experts in the field of modelling of machining operations, coming from both industry and academia, to share knowledge, discuss and present their latest developments and findings.
The deadline for article submission is 24th November 1st December 2024.
The accepted articles will be published in open access by Elsevier in the Procedia CIRP journal after a reviewing process by the international Scientific Committee including the leading researchers of the field.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Mons!

Pedro Arrazola
Future trends in machining: the role of modelling
Dr. Pedro-José Arrazola Arriola is a senior lecturer in mechanical engineering and Head of the Machining Research Group at Mondragon Unibertsitatea (Spain). With 25 years of experience in metal machining, his work focuses on the study, understanding, and optimisation of machining operations through experimental and numerical approaches. His expertise includes fundamentals of cutting, modelling of machining processes, surface integrity, process monitoring, the environmental impact of machining, and the finishing of additive manufacturing components. Dr. Arrazola has an H index of 32 (WoS) and has published over 375 articles and three book chapters. He has led major research projects such as FATECO (H2020-RFCS) and MACH40 (EITM). He has also participated in more than 102 scientific and industrial projects (EU, National, and regional) across multiple sectors, including automotive, aeronautical, railways, and medical. As a “Fellow Member” of CIRP, the International Academy for Production Engineering, Dr. Arrazola served as secretary of the Scientific Technical Committee for Cutting (STC-C) from 2018 to 2022 and currently holds the position of vice-chairman.
Tom Jacobs
How industry and academy worked together to tackle the tool wear challenge
Tom Jacobs graduated at the University of Leuven in 2004 as a Mechanical Engineer, specialized in Production Management and Technologies. After a Master in Policy Economics in 2005, he started his carreer at Sirris (formerly known as WTCM). As a project engineer he explored together with a collective of innovation companies novel machining technologies (e.g. micro milling, ultrasonic assisted machining and cryogenic assisted machining). He distributed his knowledge through over 100 (mainly Belgian) machining companies by guiding them on innovation trajectories and introduction projects.
The last decade, as a senior expert at Sirris, he followed up the trend towards digitization and the introduction and use of sensor data into the prediction of the outcome of machining processes. By integrating the knowledge available at other experts within Sirris, other (Belgian and European) academic partners and the industrial companies, he set up applications and research projects with SME’s and large companies.

Conference Venue
UMONS Centre Vésale
Adress: Avenue du champs de Mars 6B, 7000 Mons - Campus Plaine de Nimy Venue to Mons/Bergen
Important Note: The dutch name of Mons is “Bergen”.
If you take the train or come by car from the dutch part or Belgium or from Brussels ("Bruxelles"), "Bergen” is used.Mons is a very walkable city. From the train station you can easily access many accomodations and the whole city in less than a 30 minutes walking. Local taxis are also located at the exit of the railway.
