With a seamless flyout and integrated BOM interface, OpenBOM has always supported the release workflow and provided immersive integration with Onshape Drawings. This allows you to bring custom OpenBOM BOM tables directly into your Onshape drawings. Furthermore, OpenBOM captures derivatives like PDFs, DWGs, STEPs, and STLs, enabling you to share Onshape data effortlessly for various processes, including manufacturing planning, procurement, maintenance, and support.
