Moving interfaces are key components of many dynamic industrial processes, in which complex interface physics determine much of the underlying action and performance. Level set methods, and their descendents, have been valuable in providing robust mathematical formulations and numerical algorithms for tracking the dynamics of these evolving interfaces. In manufacturing applications, these methods have shed light on a variety of industrial processes, including the design of industrial inkjet plotters, the mechanics of electrojetting, shape and evolution in industrial foams, and rotary bell devices in automotive painting. In this review, we discuss some of those applications, illustrating shared algorithmic challenges, and show how to tailor these methods to meet those challenges.
