Bill of Materials BOM

The company has expanded its services to include billing of materials and extended digital thread support.

Until now, PLM has made limited inroads into the electronics design and development sector.

The key element of OpenBOM for Onshape is to make a completely integrated experience for engineers and everyone else involved in the process of design, engineering, production and procurement. 

This approach to the smart eBOM can increase manufacturing efficiency.

The integration creates a new feature that allows users of Electra Cloud to export and convert bills of materials (BOM) directly into OpenBOM with just a few clicks.

New software reportedly simplifies processes, reduces costs, improves productivity and supports digital thread and model-based enterprise initiatives for manufacturers.

OpenBOM expands one-click BOM process to support bi-directional data handover and brings OpenBOM production planning and purchase order functions to Autodesk Fusion 360 customers.
