Claim 10:
11. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
receiving, by a computer processor, an indication of a particular design style from a user computer;
determining, by the computer processor, based on the indication of a particular design style, one or more functional product groups that comprise a plurality of custom products having indicia of the particular design style;
initiating, by the computer processor, a collaboration session between the user computer and one or more collaborators to cause displaying the plurality of custom products on a user device and on collaborators devices, to allow the user and the one or more collaborators to view the plurality of custom products, and to select, from the plurality of custom products, one or more particular custom products;
in response to receiving a selection of the one or more particular custom products, selected from the plurality of custom products: generating, by the computer processor, based on the one or more particular custom products, a group of customized products comprising the one or more particular custom products, each particular customized product associated with a product type of a plurality of product types, each product type of the plurality of product types associated with a manufacturing constraint of multiple manufacturing constraints, each particular customized product having shared content that all of the one or more particular custom products share;
for a particular customized product from the group of customized products:
obtaining, by the computer processor, a manufacturing method for manufacturing the particular customized product;
determining, by the computer processor, a product type of the particular customized product and a manufacturing constraint associated with the product type;
based on, at least in part, the manufacturing constraint, determining, by the computer processor, physical constraints and manufacturing instructions for manufacturing the particular customized product using the manufacturing method;
generating, by the computer processor, transformed shared content by transforming the shared content, which all of the one or more particular custom products share, to meet a specific digital standard that satisfies the physical constraints for manufacturing the particular customized product; and
storing, by the computer processor, the transformed shared content in association with the group of customized products for manufacturing the particular customized product;
based on at least the transformed shared content, automatically generating, by the computer processor, publishing manufacturing instructions;
transmitting, by the computer processor, the publishing manufacturing instructions to product customization servers in real time to cause manufacturing entities to generate the particular customized product based on the publishing manufacturing instructions.
