Translating design intent into purchasing specifications shouldn't take half a day. "OpenBOM cuts down on tedious work β translating design intent to purchasing specs, managing manufacturing and assembly part structuring." π bit.ly/432ge1H

How many BOMs do you actually need? Teams that use only one BOM across all functions end up with misaligned data, production surprises, and service headaches. EBOM, MBOM, SBOM, PBOM β here's the practical breakdown. π bit.ly/3RXFRbG

As companies grow, the gap between engineering and manufacturing widens β and Excel is what falls into it. "OpenBOM eliminates the use of Excel for controlling parts and versions, and ensures everyone has access to the information." π bit.ly/4dHb6pL

Part numbers are easy to get wrong and hard to fix. Every CAD file, BOM, ERP record, and purchase order references them. Get the approach right from the start β here's how. π bit.ly/3XHBVAX

PDM was built for control. It delivered control and friction. CAD File Agent asks a different question: what if file management didn't feel like file management at all? Here's how agentic PDM changes the way engineers work. π bit.ly/4dG8cl9

Traditional PLM starts with a system. Teams adopt it β or they don't. CAD File Agent starts where engineering work already happens. 3 ways it changes the PDM/PLM adoption journey entirely. π bit.ly/4u9Fuy5

A BOM tool that only works through a UI is a bottleneck for teams that need to build on top of their product data. "The API is useful β it lets us programmatically query OpenBOM as a source of truth and identify how parts fit together." π bit.ly/4uBcOyW

Engineers don't hate file management. They hate the friction of PDM. What if managing CAD files felt like having a conversation instead of navigating a vault? That's what CAD File Agent is. Here's the first demo. π bit.ly/3RF4csx

Not every team is ready for enterprise PLM. Most teams are more than ready to leave spreadsheets behind. "OpenBOM is a lightweight bridge between spreadsheets and a full PLM system β easy to deploy, without a heavy implementation lift." π bit.ly/4x0jIzf

I left Autodesk convinced CAD vendors would solve cloud PDM. It seemed inevitable. It didn't happen. Teams are still using PDM tools built 25 years ago. Here's why the boring PDM problem never got solved β and why AI starts there. π bit.ly/432M52f

PDM doesn't have to come with a six-month implementation and an enterprise price tag. "OpenBOM is easy to use and lower cost than other software β I can find BOMs without excessive extra features in the way." π bit.ly/4a2x0S0

Who has the latest version? Who changed the file? Can I safely modify this assembly? These are PDM questions β and most teams answer them through shared folders and hope. OpenBOM Design File Manager changes that. π bit.ly/4vfsQyh

Most BOM tools make you fit your product into their data model. "You can model your data in OpenBOM as you wish β that gives a lot of options and flexibility to map data per your needs." π bit.ly/4fQ1Jp4

SolidWorks has an assembly. ERP needs a BOM. So why not just send it over? Because CAD and ERP are two fundamentally different worlds β and bridging them requires more than an export button. Here's how the data actually moves. π bit.ly/4nZ2Rcf

Connecting CAD to the rest of the team shouldn't require a manual process and a folder full of ZIPs. "Having OpenBOM connected to Fusion has made our work much easier β anyone can access it in a very organized manner." π bit.ly/4oaem0r

Most teams don't decide to outgrow their process. Wrong revisions reach suppliers. Procurement rewrites data engineering already has. Nobody agrees on what the current BOM is. 8 questions that show you exactly where the friction is. π bit.ly/3QSrP0g

A BOM can look complete and still not be ready. Missing part numbers. Wrong revisions. No supplier data. No one tracking issues to closure. These 10 mistakes happen before release β and cost far more after it. π bit.ly/42pNBv7

BOM Review: The Missing Step Between BOM Creation and Release. A BOM can exist and still not be ready for release. Creating a BOM is not the same as reviewing it. BOM Review is the missing discipline in most product teams β here's what it needs to do π bit.ly/48vUYEy

What's New in April 2026. Every month, OpenBOM gets better β not just in features, but in how well it fits the way engineering teams actually work. Here's what's new in April 2026 πbit.ly/4tHRhUT
