Onshape Live 23 event is coming soon and I’m excited to share more news and invite you to Onshape Live to visit OpenBOM’s virtual booth. You can register here. Onshape Live23 is the annual user conference for Onshape a cloud-based professional MCAD design platform created by the founders of Solidworks led by Jon Hirschtick and his team. Onshape is revolutionizing the way engineers and designers approach product development by offering a unique browser-based tool and collaboration platform.
The uniqueness of Onshape is in browser-based MCAD tool and embedded data management capabilities including change management functions with granular change control, branching, and collaborative editing of geometry. PTC acquired Onshape back in 2019 and is building a future PTC cloud platform called Atlas using Onshape technologies. Learn more about Onshape Live 23

OpenBOM for Onshape
At OpenBOM, we’ve been building integrations for Onshape from the earliest days when Onshape App Store become available. OpenBOM is using the best Onshape integration technologies to integrate both visually (via flyout) and from a process and data standpoint (streamlining data and collaboration between two platforms – Onshape and OpenBOM).
Learn about what OpenBOM does with Onshape in the following publications:
- Onshape Partner OpenBOM Keeps Product Development Workflows Flowing
- OpenBOM for Onshape – how to integrate STEP, STL and Drawing PDFs
- OpenBOM for Onshape Integrated Development
Check OpenBOM virtual booth:
Our recent development for Onshape includes supporting of Onshape release process with seamless event-driven data updates between Onshape and OpenBOM. Check this article:
OpenBOM for Onshape – BOM Update on Release
From One-Click To No-Click Integrated Solution
The last release of OpenBOM for Onshape makes the next step in the OpenBOM innovation and the level of seamless integration. The new integration turns to an event-driven process to eliminate the need from customers to perform manual updates at all. Here is the picture that demonstrates the improvement.
As you can see from the picture above, OpenBOM tracks the Onshape release process and automatically transfers the data – generates the BOM, creates derivative files, and merge changes with a digital BOM. Watch the demo video of the new seamless “no-click” integration.

Conclusion:
At OpenBOM we provide a unique level of integrations allowing Onsahpe customers to simplify data management and streamline downstream processes such as BOM management, procurement, costing, supply chain and collaboration. OpenBOM flexible data model, bi-directional integration with Onshape and event-driven release mechanism support allows seamlessly connect design, BOM management and production planning together using the advantages of cloud architecture and SaaS business model.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Onshape Live. Navigate to OpenBOM virtual booth and learn what we do and how OpenBOM can help Onshape customers.
