The vBOM is a visual BOM (Bill of Materials).

The vBOM takes much more effort to create than a BOM listing.

Requirements

  • Every single part of the hardware being developed must be shown
  • Every part has a direct link to that part's sourcing, such as an online store
  • Link can be a text link or image link. If image link, make the outer image line blue to indicate that there is a link, as this is not visible just by looking at the picture.
  • BOM and vBOM must be reconciled - the parts should match.
  • BOM contains additional information. vBOM focuses on graphical representation for quick study of hardware make-up.
  • A vBOM serves as a foundation for an Exploded Part Diagram and Exploded Part Animation in FreeCAD

Example

Note: parts with blue border are hyperlinked. Complete BOM and required numbers of parts, as well as parts completeness, can be obtained from this diagram.
