Abstract
Methods and arrangements for automation of the masking process for spray painting and other material spray deposition. The methods provide masking simultaneous with the material spray to thereby eliminate additional mask application and removal processes. The arrangements provide non-contact masking and unused material recovery. Air curtain masking and solid non-consumable masking methods are provided.
