When extracting a BOM from a CAD system, OpenBOM grabs all properties from assemblies and components. This is true for Part Lists, Single-level and Multi-level BOMs. For example, here’s a BOM extracted from SOLIDWORKS: Let’s say you only wish […]
You can generate multi-level BOMs from your CAD system. Here’s how. First of all, please ensure you have updated your CAD plugin(s). That’s important to take advantage of the new multi-level option for the CAD plugin. Read up on the […]
An Order BOM helps engineers and manufacturing teams to order parts and perform initial production planning. Initial production planning involves creating a planning BOM (order BOM) to manage the right quantities and coordinate the ordering process internally in a company and externally […]

We suggest you start by reading this post which will walk you through plug-in installation and configuration: openBoM nuts and bolts for SOLIDWORKS assemblies, components, and BOM tables Watch his video to see how to import a BOM to openBoM […]
I’d like to discuss our integration with SOLIDWORKS. I’ll start by remarking as of today we have two SOLIDWORKS related integrations. One is our free integration for SOLIDWORKS users. It’s available for download in the openBoM app: Tools>Integrations menu. The other integration […]
The purpose of this post is to share with you more details of how the new openBoM calculated properties (formula) can be used in a scenario where you want to manage Item Master data (in openBoM as a part catalog/inventory) […]
Cost is one of the most important considerations in product engineering and manufacturing. On average, every dollar in cost is equal at least $3–5 dollars in sales. Unfortunately, the cost is often overlooked by designers, engineers and other people involved […]
The days of pure mechanical products are over. With few exceptions, the majority of products today have a bunch of electronic and electromechanical components inside. As a result, BOMs no longer are a simple set of standard and engineering parts […]
Recently, users have asked how openBoM works with ERP applications. It’s no surprise many of our users started off with a design and engineering BOM and now are discovering how to connect things to production systems such as MRP, ERP, […]
