Thanks, this matches what we're seeing. Trying to establish relationship with some brands, this is the problem we hit. The clothing batches can be very different from each other - cut-by-hand problem. So they don't have sewing patterns to drape and even if they have the final clothes can be different. Plus they don't want to share the patterns/technical details.
So on business side despite the clear benefits, for now we have hard time finding interested brands. Probably part of it is that we're very technical, technology-focused guys. But we're evaluating both paths: whether the mass-made item will fit, and tailoring for a specific person. Will see how it works out.
On the scanner side. The software approach beyond the less friction also have a benefit of predicting the future shape: "pregnant me in 2 months" or "me with 3kg less". Or simpler: my measurements changed since last month and I don't need to rescan. That's harder with hardware.
