I've seen Keenan Crane of CMU give some great applications of differential geometry to computational geometry and manufacturing/fabrication. He has a book on applied discrete differential geometry available here [1] and also a good youtube channel [2] with talks showing applications. A good nontechnical talk giving an overview of the basics and the motivation for the formalism is [3]. A nontechnical talk showing an application to fabrication is [4].
