Case Study: CanMet Design streamlines product management and costing with OpenBOM

How CanMet Design Streamlined Product Management and Costing with OpenBOM for SolidWorks

CanMet Design, a manufacturing and engineering firm, struggled with inefficient product data management. They relied on error-prone spreadsheets and disconnected databases to track CAD models, labor costs, and supplier information, which consumed valuable time and increased the risk of costly errors. To overcome this challenge, they turned to OpenBOM for a solution.

By implementing OpenBOM for SolidWorks, the vendor provided a seamless integration that allowed CanMet Design to generate and manage Bills of Materials directly within their design environment. The solution centralized all product and cost data, enabling real-time costing with supplier pricing and eliminating manual updates. This resulted in a dramatic improvement in efficiency, the virtual elimination of costing errors, and enabled better, faster decision-making across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing teams.
