12 Design Principles

design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp1

DP1 - Sovereign, pseudonymous IDs

Design BEMs that allow each actor to manage their sovereign and pseudonymous IDs.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp2

DP2 - Sovereign credential wallets

Design BEMs that support sovereign wallets that may hold certificates and other ID credentials to qualitatively and quantitatively describe actors.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp3

DP3 - Minimal on-chain sensitive data

Design BEMs to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive business data and store only a necessary minimum as a persistent blockchain trust anchor.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp4

DP4 - Persistent manufacturing-data logging

Design BEMs that require manufacturers to persistently log manufacturing data for ex-post transparency and quality assurance.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp5

DP5 - Supplier service-offering information

Design BEMs that require manufacturers to provide information about their service offerings and specify their individual preferences.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp6

DP6 - Consumer service-request specification

Design BEMs that enable consumers to specify their service requests via customizable functionalities and filter options.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp7

DP7 - Ambidextrous interfaces with data screening

Design BEMs with ambidextrous user interfaces (manual HMI and automated M2M) and functionality to screen marketplace data.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp8

DP8 - Preference-filterable reputation system

Design BEMs with a reputation system where consumers can filter different criteria according to their individual preferences.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp9

DP9 - Demand-driven semi-automated matchmaking

Design BEMs as demand-driven marketplaces with semi-automated matchmaking functions where consumers receive suggestions for matching producers and select the final producer based on their preferences without disclosing sensitive data.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp10

DP10 - Hybrid pricing and negotiation

Design agreements in BEMs as hybrid systems that support individual pricing and negotiation.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp11

DP11 - Automated contract execution with hybrid payments

Design BEMs that allow for automated contract execution with cryptographic token incentives and payment options using fiat currencies.

additive-manufacturingb2bdesign-principlemarketplace+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-dp12

DP12 - Interoperability and consortial standards

Design BEMs to support interoperability and free market access to those who follow consortially defined standards and rules.

12 Meta Requirements

design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr1

MR1 - ID Attributes

BEM agents require digital identities (IDs), including company IDs, 3D printer machine IDs, and product IDs, to interact with each other and be identifiable.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr2

MR2 - ID Features

BEM identities require features to describe actors: the ability to map affiliation and hierarchy constructs, distinctive levels of stakeholder anonymity, and rule-based access for independent third parties to trace relationships.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr3

MR3 - Data Security & Integrity

Data exchange in BEMs requires user sovereignty and tamper-free exchange, storing only the necessary minimum of sensitive business data on-chain as a persistent trust anchor.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr4

MR4 - Data Traceability

BEMs require ex-post transparency: production parameters must be documented persistently and be accessible to authorized actors for quality assurance.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr5

MR5 - Supply Side Information

The supply side must provide information about production and material parameters, certificates, and their capability, capacity and bids.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr6

MR6 - Demand Side Information

The demand side must specify its request via product and production specification and an indication of its willingness to pay.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr7

MR7 - User Interface

BEMs require customizable filtering options and both a machine-to-machine (M2M) and a human-machine (HMI) interface.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr8

MR8 - Reputation System

BEMs require a reputation system covering company metrics, printer ratings, and individual preference prioritization.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr9

MR9 - Supply & Demand Matchmaking

Supply and demand matchmaking must preserve process anonymity, not disclosing sensitive data until the matchmaking process is complete, and be semi-automatic.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr10

MR10 - Transaction Agreement

BEMs require hybrid pricing and negotiation mechanisms to reach a transaction agreement in the matchmaking process.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr11

MR11 - Terms & Conditions

BEMs must ensure automated execution of terms and conditions via smart contracts and support dual incentives and payments, using both cryptographic tokens and fiat currencies.

additive-manufacturingb2bmarketplacematchmaking+2
design-knowledge/matchmaking-additive-manufacturing-mr12

MR12 - Governance

BEM governance must be shaped openly and transparently, balancing cooperation and competition among stakeholders, and ensuring interoperability with other marketplaces.
