Like anything in engineering and design, IMO, it depends on who you are what you are doing.
> SDF and mesh extraction are one of my favorite areas of research.
Why convert a SDF to a mesh to do visualization and engineering analysis? Even with FDM, which can be thought of a 2D filling problem like scan conversion once you have a SDF, meshless may be the way forward with additive manufacturing as well. One can think of reasons you would have to do mesh extraction, but for niche areas of manufacturing.
