1. A method for custom fitting and manufacturing parametric products, the method comprising:
generating a plurality of parametric models of a custom product based on, at least in part, past learned data pertaining to the custom product, each parametric model identified by a parametric model identifier and having a plurality of corresponding numerical distance parameters;
generating a first user interface comprising at least a first graphical representation of the custom product, and displaying the first user interface on a computer display device;
receiving, via the first user interface, a plurality of adjustment parameters for improving a fit of the custom product in relation to user-specific data;
based on the plurality of adjustment parameters and the plurality of parametric models, determining two particular parametric models, each particular parametric model having at least one numerical distance parameter, of the corresponding numerical distance parameters, that is within a particular tolerance of at least one parameter of the plurality of adjustment parameters;
generating, for the custom product, a parametric fit model having a plurality of fit model parameters;
wherein each fit model parameter, of the plurality of fit model parameters, is computed by interpolating a corresponding numerical distance parameter of a first particular parametric model of the two particular parametric models and a corresponding numerical distance parameter of a second particular parametric model of the two particular parametric models;
wherein a fit model parameter, of the plurality of fit model parameters of the parametric fit model, is represented as a fit key-value pair;
transmitting the parametric fit model to a manufacturer to cause the manufacturer to produce a parametric physical product based on the plurality of fit model parameters of the parametric fit model.
