The knitwear industry has previously struggled with inefficiencies with made-to-measure sizing, relying on manual methods of measuring and human input which is prone to error. Meepl’s smartphone-enabled 3D body scanning technology uses body reconstruction algorithms to produce an almost 100 per cent accurate body image from just two pictures, instantly obtaining up to 100 measurements of the body.
