Really great week this week. Here are some highlights:

• QR based tagging is in the late stages of development, and in the process of making that, we’ve implemented a first pass at rigid elements integrated into Chainmesh, which could be huge.

• We’ve finished integrating Zoa-based under sizing into our entire pipeline (which seems to work amazingly. I’m very excited to get prints back with this implemented, we are expecting a huge bump in how good our fit is).

• We got Bar closures mostly implemented, and should be able to finish that off early next week. With that done, better materials science work can begin.

• Just about everything in place for ML segmentation (which dovetails with the rapid validator), will just need to plug in all our training data and start.

• Found a new potential manufacturing partner in Brooklyn.

• Thinking that it could be interesting to try to make our own high fashion brand while waiting on data from the study, depending on how that shakes out. We worked some more on the electroplating, and it’s feeling like it might just work. It would be fun to make bags and things like that; I would really love to work with someone like Iris Van Herpen on couture, but obviously we’d need to work on the technique a bit before we get there.
