Introducing OpenBOM for Personal Use

OpenBOM continues to recognize the needs of individuals involved in makers communities, manufacturing enthusiasts, retired professionals doing homework, and other non-commercial users.  With this release, we are adding a Free subscription for qualified non-commercial users.  Non-commercial applicants must meet a few requirements which I have highlighted in the form below.

So, from now, you can get all features of the OpenBOM Professional User Subscription for free. OpenBOM is available for free personal use for individuals who are doing home-based, non-commercial design, manufacturing, and fabrication projects. Individuals must be learning for personal use. This usage must be outside of a company environment, commercial training, and outside of their primary employment. We also support individuals engaged in hobby businesses, retired professionals, or creating social media content, videos, blogs, or other web content.

What do I get?

OpenBOM for personal use includes all capabilities of OpenBOM Professional User subscription except:

  • Training
  • Online technical support
  • Commercial integration included in Team, Company or Enterprise Subscriptions
  • 3D Viewer
