What we learned from 3 years of bra engineering, and what's next
So the original post[1] commented that there is a combinatorial explosion of possible bras from having, the author says, 10 parameters to work with.<p>I read that there was a similar scenario in the design of airplane cockpits, such that there were enough different dimensions of human variation that it was hopeless to design for the "average pilot": even assuming that each dimension had 80% of pilots within the acceptable range, it was basically guaranteed to be unacceptable for the vast majority of pilots.  I read that the solution was to make all the relevant aspects of the cockpit adjustable; and that this was deemed expensive and dismissed at first, but it became obviously necessary and they sucked it up and did it.<p>A simple, cheap, and effective process for custom-made bras seems ideal if they have it, but if that is difficult, then I wonder: could it work to make as many dimensions as possible adjustable, and then suffer only mild combinatorial explosion on the remainder?<p>[1] <a href="https://medium.com/@hazelynut/why-i-have-a-problem-with-bras-ff75f0e6fe23" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@hazelynut/why-i-have-a-problem-with-bras...</a> , linked from the article.
