WEBINAR: Mastering Solidworks Bill of Materials using OpenBOM

At OpenBOM, we put a high priority on mastering the engineering Bill of Materials and helping to build the most efficient path of BOM creation from a CAD system. OpenBOM add-ins for CAD systems combined together with OpenBOM flexible data management platform is a foundation of how OpenBOM streamlines the process of engineering BOM creation.

Our recent release introduced a new “One-click” BOM function combined together with default catalog settings, which simplifies, even more, the process of data capture from CAD systems.  Check out my earlier blog – OpenBOM Solidworks add-in one-click and default catalog demo.

The new features made the next step in the simplification of Solidworks BOM management using OpenBOM. 

Our webinar this week will be completely dedicated to best practices of BOM creation in Solidworks. Join Steve Hess on Wednesday for this unique opportunity not only to watch the webinar but also to ask questions live during the webinar.

Take a deep dive into creating Bills of Material from Solidworks with OpenBOM.  We will cover Multi-Level BOM of product structure, using Catalogs and Templates to (pre)define formulas and cost rollups, marking your Solidworks items as “Purchased” or “Phantom” Assemblies and keeping them out of your BOMs, sending property values back to Solidworks from your BOM, capturing Part Numbers from Solidworks and more.

Conclusion

If you want to learn about what is the latest OpenBOM development in CAD Add-ins as well to master your skills in BOM creation for Solidworks projects, this webinar is a unique opportunity to learn more about and ask questions. 

Meantime, check OpenBOM online documentation and videos about OpenBOM and Solidworks.
