OpenBOM is excited to announce a major update to our Onshape integration, delivering new features designed to enhance your workflow. This update introduces an intuitive drawing flyout interface, simplified settings for easier configuration, and significant improvements in speed and performance. With these enhancements, users can expect a smoother, faster experience when managing BOMs, assemblies, and derivative files directly within Onshape.

Newton, MA – [Oct 9th, 2024] – OpenBOM, a leading provider of cloud-based PDM and PLM software, helps manufacturing companies manage their digital product information, organizing bills of materials and parts, inventories, and managing the digital thread of information across the value chain connecting OEMs, contractors, and suppliers, today announced a significant update tailored specifically for PTC Onshape users. 

OpenBOM is thrilled to announce a major update to our integration with Onshape, designed to elevate performance, improve user experience, and align with Onshape’s latest features. This update brings faster BOM generation, a more intuitive interface, and enhanced functionality, ensuring a seamless, efficient workflow for users. As Onshape continues to innovate, OpenBOM is committed to keeping pace and delivering the best possible experience for our users.

The new update focuses on three key areas: performance, interface design, and expanded support for Onshape’s evolving capabilities. With improved speed for generating and updating BOMs, simplified settings, and better management of assemblies and derivative files, OpenBOM now offers an even more integrated experience. The introduction of a modern drawing flyout interface further enhances usability, providing quicker access to critical design data.

“Since the start of our partnership, OpenBOM has been dedicated to integrating deeply with Onshape, enabling users to manage bills of materials (BOMs), optimize quotations, and streamline inventory management,” said Oleg Shilovitsky, CEO and co-founder of OpenBOM. “We’ve taken user feedback seriously, continually refining our platform to meet the needs of engineers and manufacturers. This latest release is the result of multiple years of collaboration and fine-tuning, ensuring that OpenBOM remains a trusted and powerful tool for Onshape customers”.

Customers love what we do and give us a great deal of support. “The new OpenBOM for Onshape integration is impressive. The GUI is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate. I especially love how the new part number generation works, and the addition of the ‘remaining’ operation bar is a brilliant idea” – said David Rubli, Head of Mechatronics R&D at Xtend AI (former Xtend Robotics). 

This release reaffirms our commitment to providing flexible, CAD-agnostic support, ensuring users can enjoy the full benefits of OpenBOM in any CAD environment. We look forward to hearing your feedback and continuing to evolve alongside Onshape’s innovations.
