Case Study: Acorn Furniture achieves accurate cutting lists for planning and production with OpenBOM

Acorn Furniture Relies on OpenBOM and Onshape to Manage Accurate Cutting Lists for Planning and Production

Acorn Furniture, a bespoke furniture maker, faced the challenge of manually generating accurate material cutting lists from their Onshape designs. This process was tedious and prone to error, which was a significant problem when working with unique, customer-specified projects and locally sourced timber that often required last-minute design changes.

The solution was implemented by OpenBOM, which integrated directly with Onshape. OpenBOM automatically generates a live, accurate cutting list that includes all necessary part dimensions and allows for parts to be combined. This provided Acorn Furniture with a reliable and instantaneous list for planning and production, eliminating manual errors and saving significant time. The vendor's tool ensures the cutting list is always one hundred percent tied to the latest design model.
