A method of sharing manufacturing data with a consumer of a product is disclosed. A unique identifying indicia (S), such as a serial number or bar code is associated with each manufactured product (4). That identifying indicia is detected by the consumer (30) of the product, through communication with the manufacturer (2) of the product, preferably via the Internet (16). The manufacturer (2) maintains a record of both the unique identifying indicia and physical properties of the specific product corresponding to the unique identifying indicia. Upon receiving a request from the consumer of the product, the manufacturer communicates the desired physical properties of the specific product associated with the unique identifying indicia to the consumer. It is therefore possible for the consumer to avoid a step of precision physical measurement of the product, since the actual physical properties have been measured by the manufacturer and recorded previously.
