## Keep BOM information connected to the CAD definition.

A BOM is more useful when it reflects the assembly engineers are actually maintaining. Bring structure and metadata into a workflow that purchasing, manufacturing, and project teams can understand.

### Indented assembly structure

Represent nested subassemblies and component relationships so teams can see how the product is put together.

### Part metadata and custom properties

Surface part numbers, descriptions, materials, project identifiers, and other properties already maintained in SolidWorks.

### Version-aware product data

Review BOM information alongside the relevant version or revision instead of relying on an untracked spreadsheet snapshot.

### Manufacturing-ready exports

Prepare structured information for downstream manufacturing and purchasing workflows without duplicate manual entry.

## From check-in to review, keep the product definition moving together.

Check in an assembly from SolidWorks, inspect the structure and metadata in the cloud, share the design for review, and export the information required by the next team.

## BOM management questions

Sibe is designed to use managed assembly references and product structure as the starting point for an indented BOM workflow.

Relevant properties such as part numbers, descriptions, materials, and project identifiers can be surfaced as product data for downstream workflows.

Sibe’s product positioning includes structured exports for manufacturing. Confirm the current export format and plan capability for your specific process.
