This week was a scramble on the ACVD implementation for production. There’s more work to be done to optimize it, but it’s currently yielding denser meshes with more regular structures, which we think will be stronger (think brick interlacing). We are targeting next week for a reprint of the chainmesh. We also met with some existing 3d printed orthotics providers; it was helpful to learn more about companies working on similar problems, albeit with different end goals (mostly custom prosthetic sockets and insoles). We are also thinking about restructuring our cloud orchestration - containers are great, but can be rate limiting in our design->implement->test loops, given their lack of interactivity. We are working on a different solution that will give us the same batch processing capability, but with more interactivity and flexibility.
