OpenBOM™ Integration For SOLIDWORKS

Manage CAD files, organize catalogs and extract BOM directly from SOLIDWORKS

If you’re using SOLIDWORKS for your mechanical design projects, OpenBOM gives you a direct integration with SOLIDWORKS. The integration extracts data from SOLIDWORKS and uploads it to OpenBOM to create an engineering Bill of Materials. The integration also will keep data in sync and merge changes between SOLIDWORKS design and OpenBOM Bill of Materials. In addition to sending BOMs, the integration is able to automatically upload 3D CAD files to connected cloud storage in 3D format and neutral 3D PDF / PDF formats and generate drawings.
