In this video, we demonstrate how to create a template in OpenBOM and use it in OpenBOM Solidworks Add-in. The idea of templates is about how to deal with repetitive projects you might have in your organization. Let’s say you create a new project using OpenBOM, created Bill of Materials, rollup, calculations, etc. Everything is…
I’m very excited today to introduce you to the next level of CAD integrations we developed at OpenBOM. The code name “one-click” and the goal of this integration to simplify even future the process of configuration, settings, and data extraction. OpenBOM manages a sophisticated data model for engineering and bill of materials data. Check out…
CAD systems and files are one of the most sources of information you can get data to start creating Bill of Materials, to build a database of items, find information about suppliers, and many other things. Therefore, at OpenBOM we strategically position ourselves to build the best in class CAD integrations capable to extract all…
This is part 3 of my video blog about how OpenBOM can help to Engineers. Today, I will talk about how OpenBOM can help you to generate and share files attached to BOMs. In the previous videos, I explained how OpenBOM can create BOM automatically from the CAD system and keep it in sync. Also…
In this video, I talk more about how OpenBOM can help engineers by organizing calculations, rollups, and managing item data in central catalogs. In the previous blog, I explained how OpenBOM allows you to create a BOM from every CAD software using unique plug-ins optimized to extract the Bill of Materials and share it downstream…
Everything starts with a design. If you design a new product or change an existing product, it will be a moment when you will need to create a Bill of Materials and send it to production planning or procurement. There are many ways to do so, but to create Excel would be a straightforward way…

CEO Andrew Holden has a thirst for product innovation which radiates through his organization and is evident in their industry-leading water purification and softener systems they…
Today, I want to talk about how you can create a BOM from Solidworks and update data back when you made changes in OpenBOM. The scenario is often used by different people because of ease of how data can be updated in OpenBOM in the grid-like user interface. With some restriction, OpenBOM can solve the…
CATIM Bill of Materials requirements is as diverse as their products! According to CATIM Solution Architect, “Combining BOMs from disparate design systems was next to impossible using Excel”. Creating Automation and Technology In Motion – that’s what www.catim.co is all about. CATIM designs and manufactures a wide variety of automation solutions for buildings, factories and…
Companies buy 70% of parts of stuff used in products. Standard components, fasteners, re-usable stuff – cabinets, motors, pumps, PCB controllers, caster wheels, bearings… you name it. How to manage all this stuff in the Bill of Materials. It sounds very simple but turns out as a nightmare. The parts from a purchased assembly are…
