Discussion points will include: ? What are the primary technical challenges causing colour discrepancies between digital designs and physical products? ? How do variations in display technologies and lighting conditions impact colour perception in DPC workflows? ? How can spectral colour measurement improve digital accuracy and bridge the gap between digital and physical mediums? ? What role does material simulation play in achieving true-to-life colour representation in 3D design? ? How can integrating technologies improve colour consistency throughout the supply chain? ? What advancements are on the horizon for AI-driven colour correction and real-time rendering in DPC? Come ready to listen and ask questions - it promises to be a great discussion!

Below is an article on my "live" thoughts from the PI Apparel STRIDE 2025 closing panel. I sat in the closing panel of the Stride 2025 event of entitled Creating Synergy Between Traditional Craftsmanship and Digital Innovation with Below are the three key points that flowed from my mind during our discussion. I used my jetlag to transform those thoughts into words. Thanks Mark Vickers, Brett Golliff, Matteo Burzio, Susan Sokolowski, PhD, Miranda Morrison and James Carnes for stirring the thoughts with me. Thanks Mary Keefe Grim and Michael Ratcliffe for inviting and listening. #AI #DigitalInnovation #Craftsmanship #Computation #DataScience #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #Innovation #Technology #FutureOfWork #ComputationalDesign #Growth #HumanIntelligence
