How to make variations from product properties automatically?

Description
We have products with three and more variation properties. Each variation property contains a lot of type like a color (black, aqua, white, etc.). How can I make fast variations for all of the combinations from these variation properties?
(For some products, the whole number of variations can be over than 15 thousand, and make it manually is not an adequate variant for me)
For example:
Color black, white, green
Emblem num1, num2, num3
After creation:
black-num1, black-num2, black-num3
white-num1, white-num2, white-num3
green-num1, green-num2, green-num3
Do you need to keep inventory for each variation or is the actual variation created on demand when customer orders the configured item? If it is on-demand, then it might be easier to add configurator instead of creating variations.
@dku4cdm Thanks for detailed feature request description.
You question is refers to the “Cartesian product” in order to generate set of product variations from multiple sets of properties and their values. At this moment we don't have such functionality out the box, but we have putted your request into our backlog and will be considered within our development process cycle.
Ok, we will wait for this feature implementation. @Woland2k interesting idea with a configurator, I will try to use it for now.
@dku4cdm it really depends on other requirements you might have, primary if you need to set different pricing or inventory levels per SKU
This feature request has been closed and added to the internal product backlog.
