Abstract: Methods may involve accepting pre-manufacture verification of manufacturer capabilities and product precursors for a product. Discrete packets of operational parameters to enable an additive manufacturing device to manufacture the product may be generated, each packet enabling manufacture of a respective portion of the product. The respective packets may be sent for only after receipt of confirmation that a previous packet is complete and associated operational parameters for the previous packet have been deleted. A time from completion of the previous packet may be sufficient to ensure that manufacture of another respective portion of the product may begin without interruption in an additive manufacturing process. In-manufacture verification of operational parameters utilized by the additive manufacturing device may be accepted.

Abstract: Methods may involve sending identification of a product to an additive manufacturer. Confirmation from the additive manufacturer of availability may be received. Approval of a respective additive manufacturer may be confirmed. Discrete packets of operational parameters to enable an additive manufacturing device to manufacture respective portions of the product may be generated. Respective packets of operational parameters may be encrypted and sent to a network-connected additive manufacturing device. The respective packets may be sent only after confirmation that a previous packet is complete and has been deleted. A time from completion of the previous packet may be sufficient to ensure that manufacturing of another portion of the product may begin without interruption in an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: Methods may involve maintaining a first secure, distributed transaction ledger including a digital inventory of product designs for industrial products. A second secure, distributed transaction ledger including a digital record of an entity's physical inventory of industrial products may be maintained. The second secure, distributed transaction ledger may be synced with a remote copy.
