Focusing on the theory and techniques of digital design and manufacturing for turbine blade investment casting, this book systematically summarizes the advances in applications in this field. It describes advanced digital design theory and methods and provides practical technical references for investment casting die design and manufacturing. The theories, methods and cases presented here are largely derived from the authors practical engineering experience and the research he and his  team have carried out since the 1990s. It includes academic papers, technical reports and patent literature, and provides a valuable guide to engineers involved in the die-design process.

Given its comprehensive coverage, the book makes a significant contribution to investment-casting die design and aero-engine blade manufacturing, while at the same time promoting the development of aero-engine manufacturing technologies
