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
  • 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
