OpenBOM™ Integration For SOLIDWORKS

Directly extract BOMs from SOLIDWORKS, manage CAD files, and organize catalogs

OpenBOM integrates directly with SOLIDWORKS if you use it for mechanical design. To create an engineering Bill of Materials, data is extracted from SOLIDWORKS and uploaded to OpenBOM. As part of the integration, SOLIDWORKS design and OpenBOM Bill of Materials will be kept up-to-date and changes will be merged. In addition to sending BOMs, the integration is able to automatically upload 3D CAD files to connected cloud storage in 3D format and neutral 3D PDF / PDF formats and generate drawings.
