Manufacturing processes are continuously changing from the current traditional to those processes which:(i) are sustainable, (ii) produce recyclable products, (iii) has lower carbon foot-print, (iv) easy to artificial intelligenceand robotics-ready, (v) socially responsible, (vi) energy efficient, (vii) offers safer operation, (viii) improves return oninvestment, (ix) effective risk management and (x) environment friendly.Advanced technology associated with the manufacturing of gas turbine blades and vanes is presented. Advantages ofsingle crystal blades over the equiaxed and DS blades is explained. Recent advances which took place in vacuuminvestment casting manufacturing process are described. Manufacturing is an ever-changing industry, wheremanufacturers face new issues and concerns every year. Since this decade is no exception, here are a few of the topconcerns that manufacturers are dealing with. Simulation is an indispensable problem-solving methodology for thesolution of many real-world problems. Simulation is widely used to describe and analyze the behavior of a system, askwhat-if questions about the real system, and aid in the design of real systems. Both existing and conceptual systems canbe modeled for effective simulation.
