Case Study: Woodworkers streamline complex multi-level BOMs with OpenBOM

OpenBOM Helps Woodworkers using Autodesk Fusion360 To Manage Complex Multi-Level Component Models

Woodworkers, exemplified by craftsman Gerry Gehrmann, faced the challenge of manually managing complex, multi-level models for furniture projects, which was a time-consuming and error-prone process prone to measurement mistakes. He sought a solution to efficiently create bills of materials (BOMs) and cut-lists directly from his Autodesk Fusion 360 designs.

The vendor OpenBOM provided its product data management service, which integrated with Fusion 360 to automatically generate accurate BOMs. This solution eliminated manual measurement errors, reduced material loss, and streamlined the planning process for complex component models. The result was the successful creation of precisely planned furniture pieces, including a Shaker-inspired coffee table.
