Abstract: A computing system may include a digital material collaboration engine configured to construct a digital material that is partially-defined based on input from a requestor entity of a digital material collaboration platform. The digital material may be for the manufacture of a physical product and may be partially-defined to include a physical material or product requirements for the physical product, but does not define process parameters of a manufacturing process to manufacture the physical product. The digital material collaboration engine may further be configured to receive, from provider entities of the digital material collaboration platform, proposed versions for the digital material that specify process parameters for the manufacturing process, and connect the requestor entity with a selected provider entity of the provider entities of the digital material collaboration platform based on a particular proposed version for the digital material provided by the selected provider entity.
