Case Study: Craitor accelerates 3D printer development with OpenBOM

OpenBOM Helps Craitor To Take US Marine Corps 3D Printer From Autodesk Fusion 360 Design Concept To Reality

Craitor, a company partnered with the US Marine Corps to develop rugged 3D printers, needed a fast and cost-effective solution to manage bills of materials (BOM) and take their Autodesk Fusion 360 designs from concept to manufacturing reality. Their challenge was to streamline agile product development, manage frequent design changes, and ensure all stakeholders had access to the correct version of the BOM.

OpenBOM provided a fully integrated SaaS solution that seamlessly connected with Autodesk Fusion 360, automatically generating structured BOMs directly from the CAD designs. The OpenBOM platform created a reliable digital product record that was easily shared, significantly reducing cycle times from engineering change order to manufacturing and ensuring everyone worked from the correct revision.
