Integrated into the Bild Platform

Bild's BOMs are connected to your PDM vault, SolidWorks PDM's are not

Leverage Bild's connected PDM vault and PLM databases to instantly create complex product BOMs. Parent/child, quantities, and costs automatically are generated based on model definitions

PDM Vault

Automatically capture new revisions, updated quantities, thumbnails, and new components

PLM Database

Instantly pull in custom properties, configurations, supplier information, and more
Automatic BOM creations in Bild

Save time creating complex BOMs from assemblies

Bild's one-click BOM creation automatically creates BOMs for assemblies, pulling real-time information from data cards - and even creates CSV exports

Check Out & Check In Workflows

Check out and check in designs seamlessly

Never overwrite a design again. Create robust document control with check in and check out workflows that match the speed of your innovation.

Access your designs through your web browser or through our desktop application, enabling cross-functional collaboration.

Lock Designs

Ensure other designers are not updating models by checking out a design and gaining access - other designers can still open up the model in read-only mode

Cancel Check Outs

Admin permissions enable users to cancel other team member's check outs
Version Control

Capture every design change

Track every update from beginning to end and ensure collaboration is always on the latest version of your designs.

Metadata changes, file updates, renames, and moves also create a new version block.

Gain confidence in your process with the ability to rollback to previous revisions. A more robust audit trail has never exists.
Automatically increment version number with check ins
Recover older versions without deleting any history
Add commit notes to each version block
