I use OpenBOM for my startup in robotics as an alternative to a traditional PLM. I like that it provides multi-level BOMs, which we find preferable to using something like Excel. I enjoy that OpenBOM operates a bit like a spreadsheet, offering less bloat and red tape compared to a full PLM. It's a great balance for our small team, combining the speed and flexibility of a spreadsheet with a bit of an upgrade. Additionally, the setup was easy, which was a plus for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenBOM? Unfortunately it's very clunky and unintuitive. It can be unintuitive and clunky, particularly how it syncs with Onshape. I've also seen scenarios where my work is wiped out when refreshing in Onshape.

It integrates with Onshape really nicely. Its very easy to generate part numbers and BOM's when it works. It has some decent options for categories and part number schemes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenBOM? It will create a duplicate BOM for every subassembly every time you update the BOM. All the subassembly's have the same part number and it will usually use the first subassembly that was created so the BOM never actually gets updated. Sometimes it fails to generate part numbers and skips instances that it shouldn't. In general some pretty major bugs and glitches that affect the most basic functionality of the software. It's also extremely slow. My company switched from Fusion360 to Onshape recently. It took almost 30 min to update a BOM on Fusion. It's faster using Onshape but still a bit slow. Overall it's much better to use Onshape's native BOM capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenBOM solving and how is that benefiting you? Fusion 360 has no usable BOM capabilities. Open BOM integrates with fusion and allowed us to generate BOM's rather than creating them by hand in a spreadsheet.

First, I’d appreciate it if you could share your contact details and allow our support team to check your environment. The most common issue when capturing a BOM from Onshape (and other CAD systems) is how Part Numbers and configurations are managed. Engineers love configurations because they allow them to work faster. However, configurations also introduce significant complexity when creating a product structure with Part Numbers. If your configurations for parts and assemblies don’t have unique Part Numbers, this can lead to incorrect structures and duplications in OpenBOM. We are implementing several mechanisms to prevent the creation of duplicate BOMs in such situations. These mechanisms are already available in our SolidWorks add-in and are coming soon to other CAD add-ins. A few comments to clarify the differences between Onshape BOM and OpenBOM (although both share the name "BOM" 🙂): OpenBOM and Onshape BOM are not the same, even though they share the term "BOM." Onshape BOM is a great table-editing tool that connects directly to the Onshape assembly component structure. If all you need is to edit assemblies and components within Onshape, then Onshape BOM is the right tool. Therefore, I'm curious what brings you to OpenBOM anyway :). However, OpenBOM allows you to capture design data (assemblies/parts) and create multiple BOMs—engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, cost, etc.—providing a stable product structure and lifecycle (revision) control. This revision control is different from Onshape revisions. Your design revisions are not the same as item/EBOM revisions in OpenBOM because you may have a system (mechanical, electronic, software, etc.) that defines your product. How do you manage revisions for such a system? You cannot do this in Onshape unless everything you do is designed within Onshape, ignoring the rest of your product's ecosystem. I’d be happy to get on a call to discuss how we can help. My email is below.

While I agree that SAP offers a strong solution for a specific group of customers, most OpenBOM users — particularly in the SMB space — are not using SAP. For them, OpenBOM delivers a seamless engineering-to-purchasing workflow. As for SAP solutions, I’m not convinced that connecting CAD directly to SAP solves the broader challenges of managing multiple BOM types, engineering configurations, and revision control. And of course, CAD integration with SAP typically isn’t free either. There are nuances — the devil is always in the details. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
