Digital Core Consortium
A global effort to standardize an approach to defining the material world around us
SCROLL ↓The DigitalCore™ Consortium is a collaborative effort among global industry leaders from diverse fields to establish a global standard for the digitization of materials and products. By creating an all-encompassing, physically-based, and scientifically accurate representation of real-world materials, DigitalCore™ aims to unlock the vast potential of digitization across industries.
DigitalCore™ DNA
The DigitalCore™ Consortium is embarking on a transformative journey akin to the Human Genome Project, but for the material world. It aims to map the entire "genome" of materials, creating a comprehensive, standardized, and unbiased digital representation of all materials. This is the first step towards establishing the "DNA of materials", a single source of truth that will revolutionize industries by providing accurate, objective, and interoperable data about material properties and behaviors.
Name, blockchain ID, supplier, date information, and material composition.
BRDF, PBR, BTF, and Spectral Imaging for correct visualization of color angle dependent material behavior.
For intuitive materials sorting, retrieval according to visual/subjective attributes.
For mechanical material modelling in proposed systems.
Aging, degradation, durability, or appearance artifacts, for a real-life appearance.
Stretch, bend, weight, friction, mass, drape, tactile measurements, among others, for correct physical simulation of material.
Material movements for visual reference and AI methods.

We will enable the ability to digitize materials and our material world around us in a 1:1, holistic, unified way, and set the framework for a complete, unbiased, entirely objective, (sensed) data-driven simulation and understanding of our physics-governed world.
