Bulk of this stage of engineering work is over, I’m now starting work to move into implementation out in the world. I’m beginning with clinical trials for inelastic compression garments at Brooklyn Hospital, and spacesuit-based fashion/luxury goods. A few of the highlights from wrapping up engineering work included a 30% speed improvement across four different optimizations, on paper worked out how programmable extensibility could work, found that my numpy idx -> blend idx code was off in some edge cases and fixed it, and automated most of the physics sim -> printable step. Next week I’ll need to wrap up the last parts of the physics -> printable (mostly how to handle the closures links), have some meetings about testing in hospitals, and getting on runways.
